Implementing On-the-Job Learning (In Action Case Study Series)
About this book
Do You Want to Make Better Use of Your Organizational Resources and Create More Relevant, More Effective Training? The emergence of the knowledge economy has brought new challenges to most organizations. To succeed, organizations have to respond quickly to this continuum of change. Off-the-job training requires a sizeable investment in organizational resources with sometimes questionable outcomes. This book, Implementing On-the-Job Learning, will illustrate how other companies have used and implemented a particular approach to facilitating employee learning in organizations—structured on-the-job learning. Structured on-the-job learning programs have the potential to make better use of your organization's resources and create training that is more relevant and effective. This casebook should interest anyone involved in human resource development, especially those who make decisions regarding the design and delivery of training programs. The primary audience is practitioners who want to implement on-the-job training programs but have been frustrated in their attempts to find solid, real-life examples. Instructors, students in university and seminar settings, and researchers will also find this book to be a useful reference. Another audience is organization managers who want to make sure that trainers are adequately informed about potential training options. No matter how you plan to use this book, you will find it a valuable tool as you decide how to best meet the training, development, and performance goals of your organization.
