Reasons for choosing the behavior modeling method:
Clear Demonstration of Procedures: Behavior modeling allows trainers to visually demonstrate the step-by-step procedures for using the reservation software. This clear demonstration helps clerks understand the correct methods and workflows. Effective Learning through Observation: People often learn best by observing others. Behavior modeling provides clerks with the opportunity to observe experienced trainers or colleagues using the software proficiently, which can enhance their understanding and retention of the material. Identification of Best Practices: By observing behavior modeling sessions, clerks can identify and adopt best practices in using the reservation software. Visualization of Complex Procedures: Reservation software and computer systems can involve intricate procedures and interfaces. Behavior modeling provides a visual demonstration of these processes, making it easier for trainees to understand and replicate.

Their expertise can ensure that the behavior modeling sessions are structured, engaging, and conducive to learning. Understanding of Company Policies and Procedures: Training managers have a comprehensive understanding of company policies, procedures, and standards. They can ensure that the behavior modeling sessions align with the organization's objectives and adhere to industry regulations. This helps to instill best practices and compliance with company guidelines from the outset.
