Suppose a key purchasing employee resigns. Can just anyone replace them after a handover? This is about onboarding.
Can the departing employee, in a hurry and short on motivation, train the replacement quickly and easily? Not really.
Even with an organised system, we have rules, procedures and individual working habits, including sticky notes. They are hard to transfer because another person may not find our logic intuitive.
When training someone, you will likely forget an important detail that had become second nature.
The newcomer then gets stuck, and so does the business.
They call repeatedly asking what to do, when professional training could have saved both the company and employee time and money.
If you have ever resigned, you know how enthusiastic you felt about training your replacement. Enough said.
