1 Assess your SOPs

Before you start training your employees on your SOPs, you need to assess the current state and effectiveness of your SOPs. Are they clear, concise, and up-to-date? Do they align with your business goals and customer expectations? Do they cover all the relevant processes and tasks? Do they comply with any legal or industry standards? You can use tools like audits, surveys, feedback, and performance indicators to evaluate your SOPs and identify any gaps or areas for improvement.

During my tenure at a previous employer, our support team developed a very extensive online training database. Although the resources and training provided online and through a mobile app were plentiful, most team members did not use them because of the complexity and formatting issues with the platforms. Because of this, myself and a few of our internal team members went through and reformatted the training need to release to our individual team. So, when assessing your SOP's - ensure that you make the resources easily accessible, understandable, and formatted in a way that doesn't scream "big corp" training. Create it how you and your peers would understand it along with making it fun! Because who doesn't like to have a little fun!

Training and supporting employees on SOPs involves a comprehensive onboarding process for new hires, including interactive workshops and access to digital resources. For existing employees, we offer regular refresher courses through e-learning modules, webinars, and in-person sessions. Ongoing support is provided via a dedicated helpdesk and peer mentoring from experienced staff. Continuous feedback is gathered to improve the training process, ensuring all employees are well-versed in SOPs and can apply them effectively.

2 Design your training program

When you have reviewed and updated your SOPs, it is important to design a training program that meets the needs and learning styles of your employees. Different methods and formats, such as online courses, videos, manuals, quizzes, simulations, or workshops can be used to deliver SOP training. Factors to consider when designing the program include the complexity and detail of your SOPs, the frequency and duration of training sessions, the learning objectives and outcomes, assessment and evaluation methods, as well as feedback and support mechanisms.

Read and understand is the lowest form of training, for some processes this is fine however for many it needs to be more comprehensive and ideally hands on training ideally using mock based scenarios

Provide consistent content (e.g., curriculum approach and guiding principles) and delivery methods (e.g., training length, in-person or virtual) across training sessions.

3 Implement your training program

After you have designed your training program, you need to implement it effectively and efficiently. You should communicate the purpose and benefits of your SOP training to your employees and motivate them to participate and engage. You should also assign roles and responsibilities to your trainers, managers, and learners, and provide them with the necessary resources and tools. You should also monitor and track the progress and performance of your employees during and after the training, and address any issues or challenges that may arise.

4 Reinforce your SOPs

Training your employees on your SOPs is not a one-time event, but an ongoing process that requires regular reinforcement and consistency in its application. To ensure that your SOPs are followed, you can provide feedback and recognition to employees for following them, conduct refresher courses or updates, create a culture of continuous improvement and innovation, encourage collaboration and communication among employees, and review and revise the SOPs when needed to reflect any changes or developments.

5 Support your employees

Finally, you need to support your employees throughout their SOP training and beyond. You should provide them with the opportunity to ask questions, share feedback, and voice their concerns or suggestions. You should also offer them additional resources, guidance, or coaching if they need help or clarification on your SOPs. You should also create a safe and positive environment where your employees can learn from their mistakes, celebrate their achievements, and grow their skills and knowledge on your SOPs.

My view is to have the operators of said process to write the SOP then have QA modify it as necessary for compliance rather than the other way around. This ensures a greater likelyhood of operators sticking to the SOP and also a better written procedure to accurately reflect the process in reality
