Industry:
Manufacturing
Objective:
Leverage training to double capacity.
Result:
Training is now a distinct competitive advantage.
New jobs in manufacturing are opening at an exponential rate, and the skills gap is vast.
In-person knowledge transfer, new learning environments, and dynamic skill sets that prioritize both blue-collar training and tech-savviness will play a critical role in preparing future manufacturing workers to impact business growth. Managing training against this worker preparedness is a tall order. This maritime manufacturer experienced some of these dynamics early and came to Administrate seeking a solution to their onboarding challenges.
When this maritime manufacturer came to Administrate, they were focusing on doubling capacity by leveraging training as a competitive advantage. They were facing challenges shared by many large-scale enterprise training programs:
Talent Retention: With 6-12 new employees being onboarded weekly, retaining their best talent was imperative, and they didn’t have a way to track the causes and stressors of turnover.
Managing complex training schedules: Training their employees was a huge undertaking, and maintaining visibility on work patterns, shift schedules, classroom space, equipment, and vendors through spreadsheets was becoming a hindrance.
Lack of insightful reporting: Their learning tech wasn’t integrated with critical business systems, which impacted data integrity and made data-driven decision making difficult.
This maritime manufacturer needed to scale up quickly, and prioritized training as the key to that growth.
Manual data entry, keeping vital content on paper, and tracking training with spreadsheets wasn’t working.
