Hands-On Training: A Simple and Effective Method for On-the-Job Training
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
On-the-Job Training (OJT) is the single most used training method in organizations today. But it is also the most misused-because very few of those doing OJT are ever trained how to do it. In Hands-On Training, Gary Sisson draws on thirty-five years of training experience to lay out a simple, systematic approach to OJT that can be understood and applied by anyone in any organization-managers, line or staff supervisors, employees, and both internal and external human resource and training professionals. Using the acronym "HOT POPPER" to help readers remember the parts of the process, Hands-On Training outlines six easy steps: o P-Prepare for training o O-Open the session o P-Present the subject o P-Practice the skills o E-Evaluate the performance o R-Review the subject Each of the steps includes techniques that allow the trainer to apply the system to virtually any job or skill. Hands-On Training presents a universal training method that needs little, if any, modification to fit different jobs. Its emphasis on structured OJT-one of the few types of training that is theoretically sound and at the same time may be fully integrated into the workplace-makes it ideal for training people in applied skills, such as manual or sensory skills, procedure following, and problem solving. Truly low-cost and high-return, Hands-On Training is perfect in low-budget situations where an organization lacks funds to develop a more formalized training system. It requires very few resources and doesn't require special developmental efforts.
From the Publisher
"There is no better way to do On-the-Job Training. Hands-On Training (HOT) is a great method to use when formal training isn't available or when the situation calls for an informal approach. Best of all, HOT empowers employees to take responsibility for their own learning." -Lawrence Villanueva, Director of Human Resources, McDonald's Corporation
"From computer systems to heavy machinery, Hands-On Training is the most effective OJT method I have ever seen. I can recommend it without hesitation."-Gayle Noakes, Chief Learning Officer, Larson, Allen, Weishair & Co., LLP
