I'm not being provided with the proper training to do my job. What can I do?

If you have not received appropriate training to perform your job, overall organisational performance will suffer. It is important that you express your concerns about this as failure to perform your job as required could become a question of capability, which, in turn, might lead to the disciplinary procedure being invoked and ultimately the possibility of dismissal. Lack of training could also give rise to health and safety considerations. If you are a union member, talk to your union rep about your training requirements. Alternatively talk to fellow colleagues about any training, which they might have undergone. Establish what the company policy is with respect to training for your job.

You should bring the matter to the attention of your manager.

If you fail to obtain a satisfactory answer via these informal methods you may have to resort to a formal grievance using your organisation's grievance procedure.
