Overview
For more than 60 years, a maritime manufacturer has engineered the most reliable and innovative boats on the market. Today, they continue to push the boundaries with boats designed to be unsinkable and patented innovations that bring unparalleled luxury and practicality to boating.
The goal
New jobs in manufacturing are opening at an exponential rate, and the skills gap is vast.
In-person knowledge transfer, new learning environments, and dynamic skill sets that prioritize both blue-collar training and tech-savviness will play a critical role in preparing future manufacturing workers to impact business growth. Managing training against this worker preparedness is a tall order. This maritime manufacturer experienced some of these dynamics early and came to Administrate seeking a solution to their onboarding challenges.
Challenges
When this maritime manufacturer came to Administrate, they were focusing on doubling capacity by leveraging training as a competitive advantage. They were facing challenges shared by many large-scale enterprise training programs.
Talent Retention: With 6-12 new employees being onboarded weekly, retaining their best talent was imperative, and they didn’t have a way to track the causes and stressors of turnover.
Managing complex training schedules: Training their employees was a huge undertaking, and maintaining visibility on work patterns, shift schedules, classroom space, equipment, and vendors through spreadsheets was becoming a hindrance.
Lack of insightful reporting: Their learning tech wasn’t integrated with critical business systems, which impacted data integrity and made data-driven decision making difficult.
The turnover report we’ve built within Administrate helps us track turnover, automatically, every 30 days all the way to every 365 days. This helps us identify stresses and causes of turnover. It also allowed us to pinpoint exactly when our highest turnover was taking place.
Solution
For this maritime manufacturer, talent retention was the key to their long-term success, and they identified training as the catalyst to that competitive advantage.
Leverage learning analytics to gain insight into the causes and stressors of employee turnover.
Save time by managing all of their training logistics with one scheduling tool, rather than Excel or Google Sheets.
Get automated reports to reveal where employees are in their training, and the employees that are the most engaged with their learning paths.
Since implementing Administrate, we’ve been able to bring a lot more visibility to the training program, which has given us the ability to make sure we know exactly where our greatest needs are, and how to tackle those situations.
