Avoid training lapses
“Are you breaking the law by not keeping up-to-date with staff training or accreditations?” That’s the question Crown Computing is asking businesses in the engineering and manufacturing industries.
The company is looking to raise awareness of the very real cost of inefficient processes which could mean staff are unable to work due to lapses in qualifications or in a worst-case scenario open up firms to prosecution.
Crown, which specialises in development workforce management software, has found that most firms do not have procedures in place to ensure that vital certificates are renewed in time. As a result, the company has incorporated a training register into the workforce scheduling module of its Open Options workforce management system.
David Hughes, head of marketing, said: “Line-managers are automatically notified when training is required and the workforce scheduling module will ensure that only staff with the right skills, certifications and accreditations are rostered as circumstances dictate.”
