3. Facilitate the new team members schedule for the first shift training weeks but also assist them in getting to their new bays on the premium shift
4. Complete all documentation required for the new hires training status

7. Support manufacturing in an operator role, an auditor role or secondary inspections when the facility is not hiring new team members

Key Characteristics for a Royal Trainer

1. Good Communication Skills:  Trainers should foster a learning environment in which new team members feel comfortable.  Such an environment depends on the trainer’s ability to create open lines of communication. Trainers must be not only able to explain tasks and procedures clearly, they must also know how to listen actively and be sensitive to the importance of body language and nonverbal communication. 
2. Good Organizational Skills:  The ability to balance various responsibilities and manage time.  Take mental and written notes during the training to be able to follow up and improve either the curriculum or the new team members training experience.  
3. Job Knowledge:   The trainer needs to be an expert in regards to the curriculum.  They will be a certified trainer, but they also need to be a champion for making sure the curriculum matches the job requirements.
4. Leadership:  They are an advocate for and model the Royal Values.  The trainer sets the example for the new team members and is not afraid to address situations where the actual performance in the bay is different than the training curriculum.  The trainer works to ensure we are doing what we teach!
5. Patience:  There are several different learning styles and every person has different strengths and weaknesses.  The trainer needs to be able to adapt to those styles by being flexible, understanding and embrace the diversity of each new person on our team.
6. Initiative: Trainers need to be self-directed and make good use of their time.  Set the pace and tone for the new team members through your expectations but also through leading by example.
7. Positive Attitude/Enthusiasm:  A positive attitude is a key attribute to enhancing the learning experience for our new hires – it is proven to make you and those around you more productive.
