Might depend on certain variables (size of team, complexity, training schedule), but I see it as 3 months to learn the basics, 6 months to perform key tasks autonomously. Then a year to be in the position to train someone else at the entry level (so, well versed on all facets of the job)
Excellent questions.
I’d narrow down to IF you hire a good fit (or someone who will outgrow entry level skills fast.)
aka High Performer 1-3 month training and then <1 year before they demand change.
Or if you want someone who’ll be content in entry level for a while they’ll prob take longer.
Aka Average Performer 3-12 months training and maybe they’ll want more but slow to take action or instigate change.
I have had staff not showing much of a learning curve for over a year despite constant feedback and coaching. I would not put a number on the timelines/duration, I have started to breakdown what learning curve milestones mean for each of my staff and whether or not they meet them on a daily basis. Almost like showing behavioral traits that result in learnings.
If you are going from rank-and-file to a low-level administrative position, I wouldn't worry if it took you 3 months to even 6 months to feel comfortable in your new skin. Of course, you need to have a good grasp on the basics within 4-6 weeks. If you are moving up the corporate ladded to ever-higher positions of authority, I wouldn't sweat too much if it takes three months to get your sea legs under you. All of that said, I would advice you not to be afraid to admit that you are getting nosebleeds at this height and would like to go down a flight. You never know how high is too high until you stand on the upper level and look over the edge. If you are still clueless and stumbling after 3 or 4 months, start some self-evaluation to determine why, if there is any remedy, or what to do in response.
Do they take notes when you train them? And/or do you provide written documentation/work instructions for all their tasks?
