Review
“An excellent contribution to the field, this book offers a realistic, practical focus on OJT, which is probably the most common form of training. It’s too easy for people to think that OJT is simple, when in fact success with OJT is elusive. This book will show you how to do it.
Improving On-The-Job Training will show practitioners how to establish and run an effective OJT program.”
—Timothy W. Spannaus, research fellow, Institute for Learning and Performance Improvement, senior lecturer, Instructional Technology, Wayne State University
“As we expand our businesses, we will need workers to perform more complex tasks effectively. This book gives us an excellent model to implement OJT in real time and in real workplaces to create a high- performance workforce.”
—William H. Lowthert, leadership development manager, PPL Susquehanna
“Rothwell, a world-renowned training expert, addresses one of the most critical areas of training used by all businesses and is also the most common form of training, on-the-job training. This book will provide an invaluable tool fo r any business to use to systematically develop successful OJT programs. The information in this book will assist companies in improving their performance and productivity through the proven methods recommended by William Rothwell.”
—Patrick E. Gerity, executive director, Office of Corporate Partnerships, Slippery Rock University
“I was in the technical training business for over 30 years, 19 as the technical training manager for a Fortune 500 company before retiring. In all these years I’ve have seen many new approaches to training, but in reviewing all the new methods it still comes down to the most successful way of training especially hands-on and that is on-the-job training. This book provides a step-by-step practical methodology to improve performance. If companies would just follow the concepts in this book and adhere to them, training would be a normal part of an operation and the need for justification would no longer exist.”
—Joseph A. Benkowski, associate dean outreach, University of Wisconsin-Stout
