Training management is often focused only on aligning standard operating procedures with job titles, and tracking whether employees have been 'trained' to the latest versions. But, quality standards and regulations actually focus on employee competence and awareness of their impact on quality.
This webinar will help attendees to better understand the actual intent of the standards and regulations, how to better establish requirements for each employee, and how to confirm that employees are truly competent.
Why should you Attend:
- Does your quality management system treat training as automatically leading to competency?
- Are employee training and competency requirements aligned with their job titles or the role(s) they perform?
- Does training focus on how to perform work and what results are required?
- Are temporary employees trained the same as regular employees?
- Do your quality metrics take a hit whenever new or temporary employees are engaged?
- Do you treat post-training quizzes as demonstration of competency?
Areas Covered in the Session:
- What are the differences between competency and training, and how are they connected?
- How should requirements be established for each employee's specific role(s)?
- What should training cover?
- How should temporary employee competence be addressed?
- How can companies truly demonstrate employee competency?
- How can all of this be managed effectively and efficiently?
