Månedsvisning

Månedsvisning is a type of in-service training or on-the-job training that originated in Norway and Denmark. The term literally translates to "monthly viewing" or "monthly inspection" in English. This form of training typically involves a supervisor or experienced colleague observing and guiding a trainee or new employee as they perform their job tasks.

The main purpose of månedsvisning is to provide hands-on training and reinforce good practices, safety protocols, and work methods. This approach focuses on visible aspects of work quality, rather than purely theoretical or abstract knowledge. Through månedsvisning, trainees learn by observing firsthand the expectations and standards set by their colleagues and supervisors.

In Norway and Denmark, månedsvisning is often used as a means of ongoing training and development within organizations, especially in industries where employees work with complex machinery or handle hazardous materials. This approach can also be applied in other countries and sectors, such as healthcare, education, or social services, where staff require regular supervision and skill updates.

The format of månedsvisning typically involves a structured meeting between the observing supervisor and the trainee, where they review the trainee's work quality, identify areas for improvement, and set targets for further development. The insights gained from månedsvisning can inform the creation of individualized training plans, progression paths, and evaluation criteria for promoting employees.

By combining practical on-the-job experience with regular feedback and guidance, månedsvisning aims to promote mastery, reduce errors, and foster a positive working environment.
