• A. Orientation or induction training
• B. Job training
• C. Personnel management training
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

Training is imparting knowledge and skills about the job to be performed by the employee, this reduces chances of accidents and wrong decisions. Supervisory staff act as the guide to the workers and the linking pin between managers and the workers. The supervisor needs to be trained about induction and orientation, i.e., making new workers and employees familiar with the environment and the workspace.

Job training refers to preparing the workers for the job to be performed through instruction and drill. This is done by the supervisory staff and needs to be trained for the same.

Personnel management refers to the handling of people. The supervisory staff handles a number of unskilled workers under themselves. They need to be trained about the way of handling difficult situations with the workers and get the work done from them.

Hence, option (D) is the correct answer.
