How to Perform On-the-job Training - Dean Amory
According to The Encyclopedia of Business, ©2000 Gale Cengage, On-the-job training is by far the predominant form of job training. Studies also indicate that it is the most effective form of job training. Yet, it also represents a significant investment considering that roughly 30% of a new worker's time is spent in on-the-job training during the first 90 days of employment, that productivity of experienced workers assigned to train new workers may decrease during the training period, and that new workers may make expensive mistakes. Both companies and workers therefore profit largely from the presence of simple, but complete trainee and trainer guides that allow for executing OJT in a structured way. “How to perform on-the-job training”, has the information, techniques and tips that will allow you to implement a professional OJT training program. The book also includes all the tools, documents and checklists necessary for setting up a qualitative and efficient skills training program for OJT coaches

9.5 Unit 1: What Is a Coach?<br />
Successful Coaching<br />
This part of <strong>the</strong> workshop describes what it takes <strong>to</strong> be a good coach.<br />
A coach “is someone who helps someone else (a trainee) learn something that he or she<br />
would have learned less well, more slowly, or not at all if left alone.”<br />
<strong>On</strong>e reason you have been selected as a coach is because of your work knowledge and skills.<br />
But being able <strong>to</strong> do a <strong>job</strong> well does not always make a person a good coach. When someone is<br />
very good at something, doing <strong>the</strong> task may have become so au<strong>to</strong>matic that <strong>the</strong> person is not able <strong>to</strong><br />
explain it <strong>to</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs (Johnson and Leach, 2001).<br />
O<strong>the</strong>r qualities also make people good coaches. You are likely <strong>to</strong> have a number of <strong>the</strong>se qualities<br />
since you were chosen for this program.<br />
In this section of <strong>the</strong> workshop you will<br />
• Assess your coaching strengths<br />
• Discuss qualities that improve coaching.<br />
