Abstract
  • This study involved the development and implementation of a model for providing structured on-the-job training (SOJT) in a healthcare foodservice operation. The model was developed to provide a structured method for conducting SOJT Events, the process when an incumbent employee trainer teaches another employee to perform his/her job. The model was composed of four components, each serving to support the Event. An SOJT Event Process established a series of steps to follow when conducting SOJT. A Training Manual and Training Checksheet were Support Documents used to assure the consistency of each Event and to document standard procedures. Trainers were prepared to conduct Events during the Trainer Preparation Workshop. Finally, the last component was the SOJT Event Performance Support System, a set of guidelines devised to create the support network necessary for Events to be carried out in the work setting. The model was implemented as each Trainer was scheduled to conduct two SOJT Events over a three month period. It was tested by measuring Trainee knowledge, performance and assessment of the SOJT Events. Other employees, who had been trained with unstructured training in the past served as control groups. Subjective observations of the applicability and acceptability of the model among employees were also noted. The model was successful in producing knowledge gains among Trainees. Trainees who were recipients of SOJT assigned higher assessment scores to SOJT than control group employees assigned to unstructured on-the job training. There was no difference in performance among employees trained using structured or unstructured on-the-job training. Employees that were directly involved in the SOJT Events were positive about supporting the model. Modifications for the model and the components are suggested. It was concluded that the model components that were developed and the use of a consultant with experience in training and instructional design are necessary for implementation of structured on-the-job training in foodservice operations.
