WHAT IS ON-THE-JOB AND WHAT ARE ITS ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES?
Answer Posted / mukunda
On-the-job training
With on the job training, employees receive training whilst remaining in the workplace.
The main methods of one-the-job training include:
Demonstration / instruction - showing the trainee how to do the job
Coaching - a more intensive method of training that involves a close working relationship between an experienced employee and the trainee
Job rotation - where the trainee is given several jobs in succession, to gain experience of a wide range of activities (e.g. a graduate management trainee might spend periods in several different departments)
Projects - employees join a project team - which gives them exposure to other parts of the business and allow them to take part in new activities. Most successful project teams are "multi-disciplinary"
The advantages and disadvantages of this form of training can be summarised as follows:
Advantages
Disadvantages
Generally most cost-effective
Employees are actually productive
Opportunity to learn whilst doing

Quality depends on ability of trainer and time available
Bad habits might be passed on
