The compensation the employees are receiving is education for free. That which will equip them for the job and any other jobs related to the skills acquired that they will embark on in the future. Training sessions already include cost for trainers, refreshments and sometimes meals, room and utilities; and in most cases training takes place during the working hours and so they are still getting paid to receive the knowledge. What happens to each employee and their contributions to the company, if any, is on a case by case individual basis.
At the end of the day, the $$ question raises!! is the training would add value to our company that shall result in improving Quality, saefty and profit !! if YES, why NOT..Pay them and monitor the result..
every tariner should accept that answer (if correct and logical) and appreciate the trainee, this type of activity will encourge the trainees and leave very much positive image on audience, No one is perfect in this world,
I am automotive trainer, and learnt a lot from trainees,
Yes.
An employee undergoing training is doing work that will benefit the company in a variety of ways. Why would the company not pay the trainee?
There is no need for any special compensation as any new comer specially into service is well aware of the product training that will be provided by the employer.
The materials which will be provided to the new employee during the training which will have the complete information on the working aspects which needs to be followed by him /her
The complete set of tools/tackles/special gauges info manuals etc.. etc.. I will term them as compensation.
Yes, there is a need to maintain their psychological balance and encourage them to translate what they have learned from training
this depends in the nature of training and how it will add value to company
If its done after their scheduled work timings they should be paid overtime and traveling allowance.
If they need this training session they will be willing to pay for it not to ask for compensation!
If they do not need it and are forced to attend it as a business obligation they will be willing to pay to get rid of it!
Training adds value and this point should be highlighted at the early beginning of training sessions to answer the question that each trainee asks him/herself: why I am here? or what's in it for me?
So, if training adds value; why to compensate? And what do they lose to compensate for? Just wondering!
