Proactive Technologies, Inc. – Staff
The world has been through a lot in the last few decades. Employers finding themselves making decisions and changing their mind for the most unexpected reasons. Proactive Technologies, Inc.® wants to accommodate and support those workforce development decisions in the best way it knows how. This introduction for new and returning clients of its turnkey worker development package is one example. The current discount window is open from January 1st – March 15, 2024!
Value comes in many forms. Sometimes value stares us in the face but we may not realize it…or fully realize it. Like a software we purchase but only use 10% of its functions, a car that we seldom drive, or the treadmill that sits in its original packaging. Underutilized value not only represents a minimal return on an investment, it is a lost opportunity to maximize its potential and an inefficient use of capital.
Undeveloped or under-developed worker capacity is a lost opportunity to increase return on worker investment and reduce labor costs. Multiply this experience by the number of employees you have and the loss can be substantial! This is a fact that should be obvious and continually frustrates many a CEO or Operations Manager. It doesn’t have to be that way.
New Clients:
If you are interested and would be willing to schedule a brief, 45-minute live online briefing on the PROTECH® approach to worker development and how PTI would make establishing and implementing a training system easy, efficient and with low-to-no investment for your organization, PTI is willing to schedule a free follow-up session to dig deeper into what it would look like considering a job classification of importance to your firm. Simply put:
1. Pick one of your most challenging job classifications – Reasons might include a job classification that is very large, not well defined, driven by numerous processes, being designed to support new products/processes or one with high turnover due to its complexity, impending hiring or expected high rates of retirement (a retirement that may cause you to lose that “tribal knowledge” and expertise forever);
2. Proactive Technologies will develop a Job Hierarchy for that job classification – This free follow-up online session of up to 1 ½ hours for PTI with one of your subject matter experts for the specific job classification you select, will allow you to evaluate PTI’s approach to structuring the on-the-job training program for your organization with a good “first-pass” list of all of the tasks that make up the job. Should you choose to continue with a project, each task will be analyzed for the best practice procedural steps, incorporating any process documents, quality specifications, safety compliance criteria, etc. From the processed data collected onsite, all of the support materials for a complete worker development program will be developed using our PROTECH® system of managed human resource development© software. As part of the project, Proactive Technologies will manage the structured training system, train your existing informal on-the-job trainers to use the materials, collect records and report progress monthly for you, so you can focus on your business.
Returning Clients:
Many projects were disrupted by the Crash of 2008, the Covid-19 Pandemic, mergers/acquisitions and the following years of disarray for those companies. In most cases, state grant-funded training program(s) were already set-up, incumbent workers assessed for the training gap and the program was either underway or was about to get underway. With the turmoil following the Crash, Proactive Technologies’ contacts at the client’s plant were changed or lost, and the substantial value of an investment already made unrealized.
Your organization might be one of these companies. If you have received a notice from Proactive Technologies or would like to contact us to see if you were one of these clients, we can determine that for you. Then, decide if you are interested and would be willing to schedule a brief, 45-minute live online briefing on the PROTECH© approach to worker development to discuss what work has already been done for your firm. This would include how easy it would be to update the job data set(s) and materials, and how easy it would be for your firm to implement the training system already substantially developed for your organization. PTI is offering to schedule a free follow-up session to dig deeper into what it would take to update the data, or consider another job classification of importance to you, in which case we will proceed with numbers 1 and 2 above.
This is our way to reach out to employers – both returning clients and newly introduced contacts – with interest in exploring the power and benefits of a structured on-the-job training infrastructure but may have been held back by budget realities or the uncertainties of last few years.
Worker Training Grants Available
Grants are available to offset most, if not all, of the investment to set-up and implement a structured on-the-job training system. Proactive Technologies will research grants, develop grant application(s) for your review and submission and manage your grant to ensure your organization utilizes the grant in its entirety.
For companies eligible for a worker training grant or not, this discount program can significantly stretch a training budget in an impactful way. This approach makes each worker’s mastery of the job the focus and incorporates, building structure around loosely arranged worker development activities.
THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING!
What do you have to lose except undeveloped worker capacity, lower work quantity and quality and compliance?
