Job instruction training

A formalized, structured, and systematic approach to on-the-job training that consists of four steps: preparation, instruction, performance, and follow-up

Cross-training

Training employees to perform each other's jobs

problems with OnTJ

- OJT is often not well planned or structured. - most people assigned the task of training others on the job have not received training on how to be a trainer. As a result, managers and employees do not have the knowledge and skills required to be effective trainers, nor are they familiar with learning principles such as active practice, feedback, and reinforcement. - poor employees teach undesirable work habits and attitudes to new employees - it results in training that is inconsistent, inefficient, and ineffective. However, when the process is carefully planned and structured, it can be a highly effective and efficient method of training

ON-THE-JOB TRAINING METHODS: ADVANTAGES

- the cost is much lower given that the need for training facilities, travel, accommodation, and so on is eliminated. -the greater likelihood of trainees applying the training on the job.

OFF-THE-JOB TRAINING METHODS: ADVANTAGES

-A trainer can use a wide variety of instructional training methods when training is off the job. The trainer can also choose a combination of methods that will be most effective given the objectives and content of a training program. - the trainer is able to control the training environment. -a large number of trainees can be trained at one time.

OFF-THE-JOB TRAINING METHODS: DISADVANTAGES

-can be much more costly than on-the-job training. -because the training takes place in a training environment that is different from the work environment, trainees might have difficulty applying the training material on the job.

ON-THE-JOB TRAINING METHODS: DISADVANTAGES

-the work environment is full of distractions that can interfere with learning and interrupt training. - there is always the potential for damage to expensive equipment. This could shut down production for a period of time, adding to the cost of repairing or replacing damaged equipment. -the disruption of service or slowdown in production that occurs during training. -Thus, on-the-job training can result in a reduction in productivity, quality, and service. -on-the-job training can compromise safety.
