Why On-The-Job Training?

Even the most experienced and educated employees still require training when they join your company. Perhaps they need to learn about the company culture or review the procedures your site uses. For employees and employers, on-the-job training is the best way to get up and running in the most efficient and effective way possible. Read on for its major advantages.

On-the-job training is a specific type of training that is explicit, prescribed, and delivered at the workplace.

For example, if you have a new intake nurse in your triage unit who needs to learn a specific computer program that your hospital uses, on-the-job training could use microlearning videos to deliver targeted information for that skill alone.

Learning by experience may eventually solve all requirements, but on-the-job training is a great way to help new employees learn procedures, programs, company culture, and other important concepts quickly.

What are the on-the-job training advantages that make it vital today?

The benefits of on-the-job training for employers and employees alike make it a better option than sitting in windowless rooms for entire weeks of training or learning what does not apply or is not necessary to the roles.

On-the-job training delivered specifically through various microlearning modules is vital today because of the following advantages:

1. Easily applicable

   No more wasted time for employees paging their way through manuals or scattershot approaches to designing training courses. On-the-job training is specific and focused on the needs of employees. If an employee needs to access a specific training module, they can use just-in-time online learning to locate courses they have already completed on their devices.

   Employees will also appreciate the ability to get to important information quickly without paging through PowerPoint slides or calling multiple people in the company for help.

2. It makes good (money) sense

   On-the-job training makes sense for protecting the bottom line through ongoing and always-accessible resources. You are cutting overall costs of in-person training and travel.

3. It saves time

   Time is a precious commodity for both employers and employees, and one of the best advantages of on-the-job training is that it delivers information when and where your employees need it most.

   If your company is managing a large construction project that is under ever-changing codes and zoning laws, you can wrap that area in a geofence. Once employees pass into that area, a push notification lets them know if there are any changes they need to be aware of. This keeps you in compliance with the law, but it also shows employees that their time is valuable, too. No changes for the day? Then there’s no training needed.

   A geofence can be set for as little as 250 feet, so it’s good for hospital or university complexes, too. This type of microlearning is an ultra-efficient and effective way to integrate on-the-job training into an employee’s day, making the best use of their time (and your resources).

4. It gives you flexibility

   Your employees won’t need all the information all of the time. They also won’t need it in the same format.

   With many different types of eLearning tools available, you can choose the ones that make the best sense for you and your employees.

5. It’s social-ready

   Co-workers may be the best source of on-the-job training support, a practice that can help build good employee relationships.

   If microlearning, geofencing, and other eLearning methods are experienced together in a social learning environment, co-workers get an opportunity to support each other through tricky concepts or challenging procedures.
