Elite athletes cross-train to promote full-body strength, enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury. Nonprofits that cross-train staffers on one another’s jobs can reap similar results. If your employees understand the basic functions of other positions, they can jump in and help out if someone goes on disability leave or there’s a work surge in a particular department. Cross-training also enables staffers to build skills and explore potential career paths. And it can help prevent occupational fraud by making it harder for thieves to hide schemes.
