During peer-to-peer training, colleagues train their own teammates. For example, a new hire may be placed with a buddy who they can learn best practices and tips from as they become more familiar with their role.

Peer-to-peer learning is a great way for employees to learn information in a new and engaging way. Additionally it helps organizations:

• Encourage team building: Team members can come together to transfer skills and help each other grow. This is a great way to drive engagement, collaboration, and communication across teams.
• Increase development: The peer-to-peer format of training also inspires both personal and professional development.
• Scale training: Peer-to-peer training efficiently scales training efforts. Instead of relying on a few trainers, companies can tap into the knowledge and expertise of more teammates and experts.
