Introduction

Workplace demonstration is a common method of learning employed everywhere, from retail to manufacturing to office work. In this video, watch out for the way the demonstration is conducted; paced appropriately, explained clearly and mindful of the learner’s ability to retain information and perform considering he/she could be new to this task.

6 Steps to Workplace Demonstration

1. Position everyone so they can see clearly
2. Demonstrate once at normal pace, to show completed work
3. Repeat, but this time slow down and explain each step
4. Pause to ask questions e.g. “Why am I doing this?”
5. Show no more than 3 steps at one time, then ask colleague/learner to try
6. Give feedback along the way
