[Reduce OJT Burden] Say Goodbye to "What Did I Teach Again?" Anxiety. Introducing the "OJT Training & Progress Check Sheet" - A Tool for Matching Growth with New Hires

Mercury Ad Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Osaka, Representative Director: Keisuke Tokuyama) has launched the "OJT Training & Progress Check Sheet." This tool is designed for OJT trainers who are responsible for educating new employees while managing their own regular duties. It aims to streamline training progress management and resolve recognition discrepancies with new hires.

**Background of Development: The Reality of "Forgetting What Was Taught" and "Anxiety About Understanding" in the Workplace** "Oh, did I teach this already?" "Did they really understand that explanation just now?" OJT trainers, who juggle their own practical work with training new employees, constantly face such anxieties. Guiding new hires involves a wide range of topics, and it's common to trust a new employee's "It's going well!" only to find crucial steps missed when assigning tasks – a "recognition gap" that frequently occurs in any workplace.

It's not that the teaching method is poor; it's just a slight difference in their "perspectives." To alleviate the burden and anxiety in such workplaces, we developed a simple and easy-to-use "OJT Training & Progress Checklist."

**A "Two-Sheet Set" Checklist to Prevent Getting Lost** This sheet is not merely for managing new employees. It's a communication tool for both parties to confirm, "We are roughly at this point now."

**[Sheet 1] "Six Categories" Organizing What Needs to Be Taught** We standardized essential business knowledge and specialized skills and organized them into the following six categories: - Business etiquette - Communication skills - Corporate philosophy and internal rules - Basic knowledge related to work - Knowledge of company products/services - Compliance and industry standards

<Benefits of Introduction> This helps reduce the time spent wondering, "What should I teach next?" and prevents inconsistencies in teaching methods. Visually seeing "We've progressed this far today" can gradually reduce the trainer's impatience.

**[Sheet 2] "Reflection Sheet" to Align Honest Feelings** To facilitate smooth dialogue, it features a simple structure of "Self-evaluation," "OJT comments," and "Remarks."

<Benefits of Introduction> - **Aligning standards for "competence"**: By juxtaposing the new employee's "self-evaluation" and the trainer's "comments," it becomes an opportunity to notice honest feelings and objective recognition gaps that weren't apparent through words alone – for example, "The person is very confident, but their fundamentals are actually shaky," or "They are actually capable but lack confidence and are timid." - **Documenting growth**: Just jotting down daily changes in the remarks section serves as a record of growth. The sense of security that "they are truly watching me" promotes adaptation to the workplace and encourages new employees to become self-sufficient.

**Finally (From the Development Team)** Education, when handled alone, can become a heavy burden. There's no single right answer to new employee training, and you may often feel lost. But why not start by using such "common tools" to align your pace with new hires?

When you feel anxious about whether your message has been fully conveyed, please use this sheet as a conversation starter.
