Culture Building

NWIRC on Your Side

Culture can be a competitive advantage for manufacturers. Attracting and retaining employees is an increasing concern for companies across northwestern Pennsylvania. Having motivated, dedicated, loyal, and empowered employees is a huge influence on other team members and contributes to a culture where the team supports each other and the company. When morale is good and the team is working together like a well-oiled machine, everyone notices the difference in better communication, increased productivity, more focused attention to safety, reduced errors and waste, and lower absenteeism.

TRAINING ASSESSMENT & DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The Work Institute’s annual Retention Report routinely cites the top reasons employees leave a company – and typically at the top of the list is ‘lack of opportunities for career growth, achievement, and security’. Historically it highlights that 1 in 5 employees leave due to the lack of training and upward mobility. Training and development programs are proven to increase job satisfaction and reduce turnover. We can complete a no-cost training assessment with your company to help you:

Bridge the gap between your current situation for training and development to an improved state.
Uncover needs for increasing or adding training required both across the organization and for a specific job function.
Prioritize training focus areas for the biggest impact on productivity, health, safety, and employee satisfaction.
Create a benchmark for evaluation of future training efforts.
Establish a focus to improve the return on your training investment.
Build a roadmap (or training plan) for future employee satisfaction as part of your retention strategy.

CULTURE ASSESSMENT

Working with your team, we will help conduct confidential culture assessments on-site with the goal of providing recommendations to improve your ability to attract and retain employees. The assessment includes anonymous employee surveys, interviews, a basic review of the onboarding process, and general observations of team interactions.

CULTURE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

We’ll work with your leadership team to design your desired culture, identify gaps from the current culture, and then build a plan to move toward the future. This program is customized based on the company needs and is heavily based on identifying and implementing key behaviors that everyone can follow and be held accountable to.

ONBOARDING PLAN

Often confused with orientation, a proper onboarding plan is key to engaging and retaining the best talent. Onboarding is a comprehensive process involving management and other employees, and NWIRC assists in putting that framework into place.

INDIVIDUAL TRAINING PLAN

We will assess employee skills and knowledge gaps, identify competency requirements, and pull together the resources for curriculum and training methods to produce a comprehensive plan.

“The work instruction videos gave us a new appreciation for processes in the shop – we think they will be a great asset for training new hires when they start. Initially the plan was to utilize the videos to streamline our hiring and training processes. In reviewing the videos, we found that we could also use them to correct errors and improve processes for current employees already on the job.”
