Often a good trainer is one who shows a little more effort or demonstrates more instructional preparation. However, training is also influenced by the trainer's personal manner and characteristics such as his or her knowledge of the subject, enthusiasm and sincerity, interest in trainees, sense of humor, ability to communicate clearly, and willingness to provide individual assistance to trainees. Because they can have a huge impact on the workforce, organizations should reward managers who are excellent trainers. Too often managers are not recognized for their contributions to this important aspect of HRM.
