原汁原味商務英語播客 第74課:談論培訓計劃(上)

In this Business English vocabulary lesson, we’ll take a look at some common collocations related to some of the different approaches to training and training programs.
在這節商務播客中，我們來看一些與各種培訓或培訓項目有關的搭配。

Training is one of the most important investments a company will make. Poor training can lead to poor performance, inefficiency, employee dissatisfaction, and a range of other problems. Good training, on the other hand, can make a company run smoothly, efficiently, and profitably. Training programs take many different shapes and forms, ranging from highly developed online systems to informal on-the-job training. Regardless of what form the training takes, it’s essential to think about the desired outcomes and plan accordingly.
培訓是很多公司最重要的投資之一。不好的培訓會導致不良的表現，工作沒有效率，員工不滿和其他問題。另一方面，好的培訓能使公司平穩，高效地運作，並創造更多利潤。培訓有不同的形式，從在線培訓到非正式的在職培訓。無論採用什麼培訓，有必要想下想要的結果和培訓計劃。
