How Business Owners Can Increase Efficiency And Profits With Productivity Improvement Training

Productivity in any company is an important issue that has a dramatic effect on profits and success. Many business owners have participated in courses to learn how to better motivate their employees but many have trouble implementing what they have learned into practical systems that are effective in their own work place. Productivity improvement training cannot yield results if the employees are not participating in the various initiatives their managers put in place.

In the past, training courses were primarily geared toward people in positions of management. WelTec Connect Workplace Learning programmes take a different approach. These lessons engage all employees throughout the company in a way that benefits overall productivity and efficiency.

WelTec Connect’s programmes help managers implement processes that will make their company competitive and sustainable. Often these processes need an effective way for their workers to learn and integrate these new processes into day to day practice.

Programme directors report better participation by employees when they are involved in the implementation from the very beginning. Those who are keep apprised of the changes to come are more willing to support those changes

WelTec Connect offers the First Line Management and Lean Manufacturing programmes to help business owners boost employee productivity.

Lean manufacturing as a term used within the Japanese manufacturing industry, and mostly related to the Toyota Production System which focused on increasing efficiency by improving the flow of work scheduling thereby reducing waste.?

WelTec’s Lean Manufacturing system helps employers focus on increased efficiency. Overall productivity naturally increases when employees give their all.

Specific courses offered include Quick Changeover, 7 Forms of Waste and Just in Time (JIT).

The course is designed to engage employees closely by setting individual and group goals that will lead to increased productivity. This is a whole company approach that includes all employees in the company at every level. Benefits to the company include better efficiency, motivated workers and bigger profits.

Employees are encouraged to work on skills by implementing Competitive Manufacturing qualifications. Participants are awarded NZQA unit standards giving them a sense of accomplishment as they work toward various goals.

The programme is run onsite and tailored specifically to each company’s requirements. WelTec Connect is very flexible with what they can offer and can vary the programme in length from a few weeks to a few years according to budget allocation, times available, number of employees, learning pace, and goals needed to be achieved. While the company will need to release their workforce for training, classroom time is limited as the best learning occurs with shop floor demonstrations and hands-on practice (action learning) – this is very effective with employees who struggle with theory learning.

As Elizabeth Steer from WelTec Connect says, “Empowering workers to be responsible for their productivity is a vital part of the programme and some training involves employees doing a presentation to management on potential efficiencies within their job area.”

WelTec Connect also offers a programme in First Line Management. With this programme, WelTec Connect tutors work directly with team leaders or first tier managers. The course is project based and focuses on the processes of working efficiently not only as first line managers but with their peers and also with senior management. This is of particular relevance if the team leader has been promoted from the shop floor and lacks management skills.

The flexible programmes offered by WelTec can be tailored to suit the needs of any size company. Employees gain confidence through attaining NZQA unit standards and the company reaps the benefits of a more efficient workforce.

Participating companies realize positive results with more efficient systems and a high level of employer and employee morale.

Business owners interested in learning more about WelTec Connect Improved Productivity Training are urged to contact Elizabeth Steer for more information. Interested parties should also ask about the financial assistance available for qualified participants.
