Training is fundamental to ensuring your people work safely and in compliance with a broad set of regulations, standards and policies. As teams grow in complexity and diversity, many employers are searching for more effective training methods to meet the realities and expectations of the modern workforce.
Working with thousands of companies across industries like manufacturing, food & beverage, and chemicals, we’re seeing a major shift in the safety training model away from traditional, one-sided “preach and teach” lessons of the past towards a greater emphasis on engagement and learning. Certainly, while the applicability and accuracy of course content is still important, companies are looking beyond the message to focus more carefully on what is being absorbed by the trainee. In short, what matters is not what you communicate to your employees, but the knowledge and skills your employees acquire and their ability to put it to use. Results count, and when it comes to learning, results equal behavior change to ultimately reduce risk and increase compliance.
