This is a 'must have' book for anyone looking for a simple OJT process that any employee can understand and implement. I wish I had had this book when I first started using the system!

It is now one of our Best Practices. --Jan Mileskey, Safety Manager, Nestle Confections and Snacks

This task-based, employee-driven system provides a platform for consistent training and ensures the competency of all employees. If you buy only one OJT book this year, then this is the one to buy! --Martin G. Schaaf, Assistant General Manager, Technical Training, FlightSafety Boeing

With this system we hit the ground running. This is an on-the-job training system that REALLY works! It is the perfect tool to use if you need to quickly develop a real, hands-on OJT program for a specific task, or you just need to standardize processes...this book IS better than sliced bread! Job satisfaction and morale go way up! --Linda Meagher, Training Manager, Washington Mutual

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly the Best On-the-Job Training Book on the Market!, January 23, 2002

By A Customer

I'm really impressed with the simplicity of this approach and the clarity it brings to teaching and evaluating trainees. Walter's emphasis on the role of teams, subject matter experts, and on-the-job trainers is causing us to rethink our entire training program. Anyone can use the methodology by following the guidelines that are clearly established. This system combines sound principles of instructional design and human factors with an approach that breaks into manageable pieces the often overwhelming task of developing structured OJT. The book provides all the tools you need. It describes in eight easy steps, how to develop a complete structured on-the-job training program that is set up and run by employees who perform the job. Each chapter is self-contained so that you can use what you want, when you want it - everything from identifying the need for on-the-job training, to completing a task analysis, to writing training materials, to selecting, training and certifying trainers, and conducting OJT. Every chapter tells you step-by-step what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. Anyone who wants to standardize procedures and processes and train in a consistent manner should own this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars This Training System REALLY Works!, January 15, 2002

By A Customer

I wish I had had this book when we first started our OJT program! The book takes you step-by-step through a simple OJT process that any employee can understand and implement. We have used this team-driven approach and it has greatly improved our training effectiveness and efficiency, improved processes and procedures, and has brought a real spirit of ownership and pride among our employees. It's now one of our Best Practices. This is a great book and fun to read too - it's definitely THE book for anyone who wants to set up a successful on-the-job training program.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Approach - Fills a Void in OJT Literature, April 14, 2003

By	Ben St.Clair (Louisville, Kentucky United States) - See all my reviews

A friend recently loaned me the book, Training On the Job. I LOVE it! It's the best "how-to" approach for developing OJT that I've ever read. Kudos to the author. She filled a void in the OJT literature.

I've helped groups develop procedures and OJT for years. Have always used a high-involvement approach but have never had the "system" to my work that is outlined so clearly in Training On the Job. I'm very thankful for the book. The approach it describes will help me to be even more effective and efficient as a consultant and coach for clients. It will also be a good resource for educating them about the methods we're applying so that we can collaborate even better. GREAT STUFF! Kudos to Diane Walter for writing such a helpful OJT book.
