Cross-training is defined as teaching an employee to complete the different tasks of the organizational unit’s work responsibilities. Many companies use cross-training to build depth to cover critical tasks for filing in the AES to be sure the company is filing timely and accurately when employees are on leave, travel, other assignments, or otherwise unavailable. Cross-training employees on both the FTR and how to file via AES will ensure that export transactions are reported accurately and staff will be knowledgeable and equipped to properly file export shipments. For example, staff should be familiar with filing export transactions in the AES and what actions to take for correcting fatal error responses. Cross-training provides improved coverage, increased flexibility, knowledge sharing; additionally, cross-training minimizes or eliminates potential problems that may cause chaotic work conditions.
