Create training material (a documented onboarding or training resource)
Hiring people is easy; getting them productive and consistent is the hard part. A training system — built on your SOPs — turns new hires into reliable contributors fast, without you teaching everything personally.
Do this
- Build training around your written SOPs.
- Create a simple onboarding path for each role.
- Use checklists so nothing important gets skipped.
- Check understanding with a real task, then give feedback.
Training System Checklist
- Base training on your documented SOPs
