Joint FCC Environment and .A.S.A.
(Good practices) training activities
A training activity was organised in Prague
from 15 to 17 October with the participa-
tion of FCC Environment and .A.S.A. FCC
Environment gave .A.S.A. a 3-day cour-
se on “Training trainers”, taught by Derek
Chatting (Director of Training) and Angie
Burgess (Training Manager). This initiative is
the result of the international training work-
shop held in Madrid on 11 and 12 February
which brought together training managers
from most of the FCC companies.
The “Training Trainers” course provided the
members of the .A.S.A. HR team, headed
by Silvia Slusna (HR manager at .A.S.A. )
the capabilities for efficiently creating, pre-
paring, and teaching, at the required trai-
ning level, other employees on issues rela-
ting to health, safety, the environment, and
other subjects.
Those who attended the courses will now
be able to:
•
Define the responsibilities and limits
of their role in relation to training other
employees.
•
Identify and use the most appropriate
training and learning methods that are
most suitable for employees’ training.
•
Plan the classes efficiently and with
precision.
•
Provide complete training courses
aligned to the needs to motivate parti-
cipants.
•
Use different evaluation methods to
validate training and knowledge trans-
fer.
The course was a mixture of theory and
practical exercises in which, during the
first two days, those who participated wor-
ked on developing their training skills and
knowledge, concluding on the third day
with an individual 45-minute session that
was later evaluated. Lesley Callaghan (HR
manager at FCC Environment) was a mem-
ber of the assessment panel.
