No matter your vocation, we all recognize the need for training. Today\u2019s economic and demographic indicators predict a growing training need, to the tune of five million<\/strong> new employees each year: 70% due to retiring employees<\/strong> and the remaining due to economic growth. But while companies know their employees require training, on a daily basis they often resort to on-the-job learning, due to a lack of direction, funding, resources, and time. It\u2019s really about priority.<\/p>\n

[Don\u2019t get me wrong, on-the-job training is effective, but it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and irregular – every experience is different.]<\/p>\n

Is your training strategy a priority in your organization, facility, or plant?<\/h4>\n

To create, develop, and deploy successful training for your operators and engineers, you must have a strategy. In Gregor Fernholz\u2019s webinar Leveraging Technology to Improve Workforce Competency<\/a> on May 24th<\/sup>, he described five essential steps for deploying a successful training program. A smart investment will save money, improve operator effectiveness and promote safety across the organization.<\/p>\n
