Tym’s Solution Saves Company $83,000 per Training Cycle
Problem
Tym’s recently assisted a Department of Transportation (DOT) regulated facility that uses 59 different Special Permits (SP) in 5 different job functions. The company struggled with training compliance based on the complexity that the sheer number of documents and job functions presented. The financial burden of wages paid for training and lost productivity from experts being absent on the floor was astonishing.
Solution
We started by establishing standardized job functions. We continued by reviewing and cataloging the details of each SP, then categorized them by regulatory type and applicable function.
Afterwards, Tym’s produced training videos that explained each SP within the series of applicable SPs and as it relates to each job function. These videos were uploaded to an existing Learning Management System (LMS) and assigned to individuals by established job function. Tym’s created an exam for each course, incorporated into the LMS, that satisfied DOT regulations and effectively demonstrated knowledge.
Savings
The small business is now saving $83,000 in wages per training cycle for DOT Special Permit training alone. This does not account for productivity increases from employees being back on the floor, the benefit of unburdening experts from one-on-one training, or hidden costs avoided by coming into and documenting full compliance.
If your company needs assistance with Function Specific training, you owe it to your team, and bottom line, to reach out to Tym’s today.
