Building a High Performance Workforce:
Basic Skills Training


Investing in employees produces measurable results

In a recent published study, the well-known research firm, McKinsey & Co., concluded high performing employees out-produce average performers by up to 70 percent. Accepting “average” or sub par performance from employees provides your competitors with an advantage!

The good news is you can increase the effectiveness and performance of every employee. The process starts with determining the current level of performance of your employees, and then utilizing a comprehensive collection of proven, basic skill training.

This training includes job-specific learning goals (skill level requirements) for each of your jobs, followed by pre-tests, comprehensive instruction and tests of skill attainment on each of nine essential work-related skills below:

  • Applied Mathematics
  • Locating information (graphs, tables, charts)
  • Applied Technology
    - Applied problem-solving in Thermodynamics
    - Applied problem-solving in Mechanics
    - Applied problem-solving in Fluid Dynamics
    - Applied problem-solving in Electricity
    - Solving work-related problems that require all or some of these skills together
  • Reading for Information
  • Listening
  • Writing
  • Teamwork
  • Observation
  • Business Writing

Curriculum is delivered via internet that can be accessed by your employees anywhere. Your employees will have access to hundreds of hours of instruction. You can even print the curriculum as needed for each employee. And you will have access to a powerful online Learning Management System that tracks each employee’s skills gaps, pre-test performance, curriculum usage, and skill attainment.

By investing in the right training for employees, you can expect:
  • Increased productivity and efficiency due to improved skills
  • Higher gross profit margins
  • Greater likelihood of success in achieving world-class operations
  • Lower employee turnover
