ON THE JOB TRAINING

Workers learn the job in the real working site in the real-life situation. Under this technique, it places the person on a regular task and taught the skills required to do that job. The trainee learns under the oversight and guidance of a professional employee or teacher. On the job training has the benefit of providing firsthand knowledge and experience under real working conditions. Whilst the trainee learns how to perform work, he’s also a regular employee rendering the professional services for which he’s paid.

DISADVANTAGES OF ON THE JOB TRAINING

However, on the job training can be time-consuming for the trainer, new employee and other existing employees. The next disadvantages are:

  • Costly – on the job training method is costly in the sense that the workers are disturbed by training activities
  • Disturbance – the existing employees may feel disturbed due to the trainees and the lector.
  • Low Productivity – the trainees are taken at the workstation for preparing; subsequently, they are in the process of learning skills. Therefore, the productivity profitability will be lower.

New technology is changing the way employees learn on the job and are improving the process. With a mixed approach, employers can cut the costs and time of spent training employees at the workstation.

THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGIES IN THE TRAINING PROCESS

Technology has revolutionized the learning industry in the past. And continued to improve the learning process at the present.

According to a new report by Accenture in collaboration with the Canadian Council of Chief Executives states that Canadian companies must act to take greater advantage of new technologies to deliver better workplace education and training.

The report calls on more employers to consider the advantages of innovative “smart learning systems” that provide access to knowledge, anytime and anywhere. Often, these methods are more effective than classroom-based training while also costing less on a per-employee basis.

The method of technology-based training is more interactive and experiential for employees. In the past employees may have watched a video about communicating with clients. Today technology like speech voice recognition and voice recognition available to communicate with the avatar. Customer personas make your online training more effective.

A study revealed that 85% of consumers will retaliate against a company if their needs are not met. And almost half will stop doing business with the company. The on the job training is one of the methods, which can ensure effective training for new and existing employees.

Prepare an employee handbook or customer service manual that details protocols for how to greet a customer, how to ask follow-up questions, how to resolve customer disputes. With MindBox VR you prepare scripts according to manuals of the typical situation and creates virtual on-the-job training.
