Cross Train Your Family!
You shouldn't be the only one who can access
a record in the company database, just as you shouldn't be the only one
who can wash the whites without turning them pink!
As I'm in the training business, you'll note I have a bias here.
I believe the key to successful employees lies in outstanding
training. It is also the key to successful laundry, cooking dinner,
dusting the furniture or cleaning the bedroom. Train your family
to help with chores, but make the training outstanding and fun.
What makes training outstanding?
1. Engaging - Outstanding training gets your attention, it's
relevant to your audience.
2. Be specific to the audience - Whether they are six, sixteen
or thirty six.
3. Repetition is key. (But not in a boring way.) Great educators
know that repetition and practice are two cornerstones in the
training process.
4. Rewards and recognition. When the laundry is done correctly,
there is a reward, not just the intrinsic reward of clean, folded
laundry, but tangible rewards that make repeating the behavior
desirable.
The problem with all cross training is that it takes time. Time
that could be spent just doing the task which will usually
be done more quickly and correctly if you do it yourself. The
problem is that YOU ARE the only one doing it!
Invest the time in cross training your family. Everyone will
reap the rewards - especially you!
Can't wait to see those sparkling whites!
