If you're in a leadership or management position, think about how you train your people in new skills.
You'll probably use a mixture of training methods, including on-the-job training. But when is on-the-job training appropriate? And do you know how to structure it effectively, so that your people and your organization get the greatest benefit from it?
In this article we'll explore on-the-job training. We'll look at where it works best, and we'll show you how to set up an effective training program for your team or organization.
This type of training happens when a team member (trainee) works alongside a more-experienced colleague (trainer), so that he or she can learn new skills under normal working conditions.
