I am writing this for you, as you may feel anxious.
OJT failures are not just the fault of the newcomer.
Often, the person teaching also has "differences in methods" or a "lack of teaching skills."
1. Standardize guidance criteria
The first step to improvement is for trainers to share their teaching methods with each other.
Just by aligning criteria, such as "this must be taught" and "this is just supplementary," you can reduce confusion for the newcomer.
2. Maintain manuals and procedure documents
To reduce the issue of "everyone says something different," a common manual is essential.
Even a simple version with circles drawn around the parts to clickcan be a great help to a newcomer.
By reducing ambiguity, the quality of guidance becomes stable.
3. Learn teaching skills
OJT instructors also need to learn "teaching skills."
・Make explanations concise
・Observe and quickly detect stumbling blocks
・Give specific instructions rather than vague ones
Just by being conscious of these basics, OJT failures will be significantly reduced.
Today's Summary
It is important to approach OJT improvement from both the "system" and "skill" sides.
・Standardize guidance criteria
