Staff Training Guide
This page is designed to document the process of revamping Free Geek's staff training procedures and resources. As a temporary Trainer, I developed wiki pages and streamlined processes to make the first month as a Free Geek employee smoother and easier. Whoever on staff is in charge of the staff training process should use this page as a guide to keeping documentation updated and running trainings as needed. --Scrump 21:58, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
General Training
Wiki pages to use and keep updated:
- Employee Orientation Resources: an extensive collection of wiki resources for new employees to look through during their first weeks at Free Geek (note: occasionally checking to see if the pages linked to from this page are up-to-date is a good idea too.)
- New Staff Member Orientation: the master checklist for general training of new employees; should be printed out and kept in new hire's file.
- This page!
Specific training sessions to schedule/coordinate:
- 1-hour safety orientation with Darryl (or another representative of the Safety committee)
- 1-hour HR orientation with Mark (or another representative of HR)
- 30-minute lock/security system orientation with Richard
- 30-minute password-setting session with Richard
- 1-hour volunteer management training with Stephen (or other designated collective member)
- 1-hour Facilitator/Scribe Training
- 1-hour Wiki Training
Ideally, we will also eventually have training sessions for:
- How to use RT
- How to use the database
- How to use the application server (i.e. Talon)
