ROCKWELL TRAINING
Part 1: Assess your team & maximize job performance
A skilled, well-trained staff is a critical competitive advantage, but these days, it’s a difficult advantage to come by. That's why Westburne and Rockwell are teaming up in this four part blog series to help you implement easy to follow steps for workforce development. In today's post, we are talking about applying the skills you have learned so far.
Where do you start? Before you can verify and execute your workforce development plan, the first step is to gain an understanding of the current skillset across your workforce. Rockwell has created two tools to help you assess the varied levels of knowledge across your workforce, and create a training strategy to maximize job performance and effectiveness.
Tool 1: Training Advisor
Training Advisor is an Staged assessment tool that helps you learn about your work force in a short amount of time. Training Advisor helps to determine a tailored training path so your workforce can obtain the knowledge required to improve on-the-job performance.
What do you get with Training Advisor?
- A snapshot of the current knowledge and skill set of your employees - before you invest in training.
- Both individual and group planning sessions.
- Help to determine and prioritize which training courses will benefit your company most to eliminate unnecessary expenses.
- A training road map to help justify expenses, and create a clearly charted learning path.
Tool 2: Integrated Performance Assessments
Integrated Performance Assessments (IPAs) provide an in-depth investigation into your team’s current knowledge level. Designed for dynamic, competitive organizations with a strong vision for success, IPAs help find answers to the questions you just can’t solve. Time constraints, production deadlines, and downtime often leave workforce development strategy absent from business plans. Most managers don’t have time to focus on finding knowledge gaps in their workforce, let alone build a strategy to address it.
IPAs performed by the professionals at Rockwell Automation’s Global Training Services focus on the people, motivation systems, processes, work environments, plus Automation products and supporting technologies, to deliver training strategies based on your specific business goals.
