WHAT IS ON-THE-JOB AND WHAT ARE ITS ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES?
Answer Posted / ragini
Advantages:
• Low cost - does not require the development of
potentially expensive training materials or
classroom/computer-based instruction.
• Task-based - Since OJT is performed at the work
area, training tends to be focused on performing real job
tasks.
• Well suited for small groups - OJT is often the
most practical training method when you only need to train
one or two employees at a time.
•
Disadvantages:
• Inconsistent - Traditional OJT relies heavily on an
experienced employee to provide the instruction based on
what they feel are the most important topics. What is
important to one employee may not be important to another.
The result is what is learned may vary greatly, depending
on who is assigned as the trainer.
• Incomplete - Without a structured lesson guide, OJT
trainers often forget to cover important information. What
is learned is likely to be based on what happened that day
rather than on what a new employee needs to know to be safe
and productive.
• Lack of founding principles - While the hands-on
aspect of OJT may appeal to the practical learner, often
the underlying theories of operation are not covered in
sufficient detail or accuracy. Without this foundation of
knowledge, trainees often learn what to do, not why they
are doing it, resulting in poor decision making when things
don't go exactly right.
• Bad habits - The trainee observes and may adopt the
trainer's habits and attitudes about all aspects of the job
including safety, quality, customer service, and
relationship with management. Poorly selected trainers can
have many unintended consequences.
