3 Understand the Job and the Staff Concerned
The most critical point to note when implementing OJT is that of gaining the understanding and acceptance of all the staff concerned. No matter how much bosses intend to develop their staff, if they lack motivation, the results will not be impressive. When drawing up a work plan, it is essential to discuss the details with staff involved and listen to their preferences and wishes.
To achieve the above and implement OJT effectively, it is essential that bosses understand the job and their staff very well. Each member of staff has a very different character with different abilities, motivation, attitude, expectations, etc. Bosses must recognize their individual uniqueness and make efforts to comprehend each member of staff.
