When an employee is promoted, what type of training do they need?

When an employee is promoted, they require new position training because a promotion usually involves taking on new responsibilities and possibly working in a different capacity than before. This type of training ensures that the employee is adequately prepared for the demands and expectations of their new role. It helps them understand the specific processes, tools, and competencies required to perform effectively in their updated job description.

New position training typically includes an overview of the new tasks they will be responsible for, the skills they need to develop, and how their role fits within the larger organization. It is essential for ensuring that the employee can transition smoothly into their new responsibilities and contribute positively to their team and organization. This training is crucial for both the employee’s development and the organization's overall efficiency.

Refresher training, advanced safety training, and team training may enhance skills or knowledge but do not specifically address the need for a comprehensive understanding of a new role after a promotion, which is the primary focus of new position training.
