Industry: Training For Manufacturing

Situation:

A large manufacturing company, with four geographically dispersed plants, wanted to update and improve company onboarding, training, and evaluation programs for consistency and expanded growth.

The client had four companies, each with their own team, training, and processes. The client wanted the best practices to be identified and the training designed as a universal solution.

The TrainSmart Process:

A TrainSmart instructional designer conducted a training needs assessment, determined best practices, and benchmarked programs in similar companies.

As a part of the analysis, the instructional designer reviewed the current state of training to determine what could be leveraged for the overall new training solution.

Results:

The instructional designer produced a report, which detailed the assessment results, including best practices and recommendations for the new onboarding training program. This report allowed management to make a series of decisions regarding the improvement of current training and the onboarding program.

TrainSmart then assisted in the development of a strategic training plan and the design of key training. The project was a success! A stronger – organized onboarding program has reduced turnover from 45% to 28%. The client implemented the recommendations and continues to roll out programs as a part of the strategic training plan.
