10. Train the Trainer; Explain/Show
• Stick to “Need to Know”
• They’ll figure out “Nice to Knows”
• Most people do well with this part
• State pitfalls and how to avoid
11. Train the Trainer; Practice
• You have to be there!
• Multitasking in Training
•Prioritizing and being aware of all tasks
• Investment in Time
• Sub Class
12. Feedback; Always and Never
• The Hardest to Teach
• The Always and the Never
• Always-Be Specific/Clear
• Never-Sugarcoat
13. Feedback; Lesson 1
• Lesson 1: You’re Great! Is NOT Feedback
• Why?--No value
• Trainees know BS
• Great job is like a joke told too often
• Trainees respond better when feedback isn’t generic
14. Feedback; Lesson 2
• Lesson 2: You Stink! Is NOT Feedback
• Why?--How are they going to get better?
• What are your expectations?
• Were they made clear before this?
• Did you show them how and why?
• What is the next step if a trainee still isn’t doing well?
15. Feedback; Be Clear
• Never Sugarcoat
• We have to make expectations clear
•SS’s have to set standards AND FOLLOW THEM
• They do not see the problem
• Do not give them an “out”
•“Well, we’re busy” or “It’s not usually like this”
16. Feedback; Scenario
John is a new DSA and is working dining room for the first time. Billy
is John’s SS. In the middle of the shift, a milk spilled in the cooler
because John did not prep the milk properly. Billy approaches John
and says, “Hey, I know it’s your first day. It’s okay.”
Where is the poor feedback?
What could Billy have said differently?
17. Feedback; Two Types
• Two Types of Feedback
• Feedback #1-Immediate
•Gives clear guidelines during the shift
•No Surprises
• Feedback #2-Big Picture
•#2-Is a conversation to work together
•Everyone on the same page?
18. Feedback; Ask 3 Questions
• How do you think you’re doing?
• You KNOW how they did but do they see the same things?
• Are you on the same page?
• What could you have done better?
• Let them be a part of their development!
• Having a voice gives them confidence.
• How can I help you?
• Everyone should ask this question
• Have answers when the employee has none.
19. Train the Trainer; Consistency
• Training set at a standard
• Each new SS group comes in with the same expectations
• Checklist slightly change each semester
• Focus is still Explain, Show, Practice, Feedback
• Standard is important
• Each SS has their own unique way of completing a task or approaching a situation
• But consistency will help prevent confusion and conflict
• A lot of Rialto problems come from conflicting information
20. Train the Trainer; Follow-up
