2 Good Opportunities
The occasions outlined above may provide good opportunities for OJT, but if employees are preoccupied by something else, no matter how earnest supervisors may be, OJT will be completely ineffective.
In contrast with this, employees who are assigned to challenging jobs or new tasks and are vexed by their incapabilities or employees who are highly motivated to work hard are eager to receive OJT from their supervisors. Supervisors must understand how their employees feel and take advantage of appropriate opportunities for OJT.
