Communicating Realistic Socialization and Training Outcome Expectations

5 Communicating Realistic Socialization and Training Outcome Expectations 

Another important issue to communicate in relation to prestait training is that whereas safety training may attempt to ensure safety, new team members will still lack familiarity (see Chap. 7) with the specific equipment used by the team, their specific work environment, and the specific way members of the team do their job. Thus, prestart training generally, and always, has a limited potential to ensure new employee safety.
