Learning

Give Employees a Chance to Grow and They Will Put Down Roots.

Workers today want more than a job — they want to see that their efforts help advance them in their careers. With transparency of skills required to progress within a manufacturing organization, frontline workers are empowered to direct their progression on the shop floor and beyond.

Reduce production losses and employee turnover by onboarding faster, training better, and sharing knowledge in the factory.

A better frontline employee learning experience

New employees feel part of the team on day-one, ramp up faster, and have career progression. Be your town’s destination employer!

The Redzone Connected Workforce Solution takes frontline productivity to new levels, and the Learning module personalizes everyone’s employee experience to streamline onboarding and improve retention.

Modern training methodologies are cookie-cutter, classroom based and haphazard, with a one-size-fits-all approach focusing more on checking the boxes than developing the skills needed to excel at one’s job.

Redzone Learning takes a more engaged approach, putting skills and career development in the hands of each employee resulting in better knowledge retention—in context of their job—in an on-demand, self-service platform that is intimately connected with the skills and behaviors coached-in with the Redzone Way.


Streamlined Onboarding for Manufacturing Excellence​

Day one in a plant can feel daunting. With Redzone, new employees feel part of the team with plant-wide welcome screens and a digital buddy system. Leader welcome videos, learning packs, and knowledge verifications ensure new employees ramp-up fast, feel competent, and decide to stay.

  • Make every new hire feel welcomed and valued with a factory-wide welcome
  • Team up new employees with the right people with the right
    experience to ensure rapid success with a dedicated
    buddy and a team of specialty mentors to learn the
    best ways to work with the team from the start
  • Rewarded behavior is repeated behavior, so give
    growing employees the kudos they deserve with
    recognition that is visible to everyone in the factory

Setting Standards and Plays for Manufacturing Training Success

Goodbye outdated SOPs in three-ring binders… Hello YouTube for the factory! Nobody reads manuals at home and they don’t want to do it at work. With Redzone, teams control their own production process development.

  • Standards allow experts to create multimedia work instructions with configurable approval processes.
  • Plays enable everyone in the plant to contribute their local knowledge with short videos that are automatically transcribed and translated in the viewer’s native language.

Don’t make the frontlines search for the answers… have the answers find them!

  • Learn the best ways to do things just like you do at
    home with YouTube™
  • Short videos generated by frontline experts on YOUR
    equipment and processes
  • Easily add new ideas and details to video lessons so
    team mates can continuously improve processes

Upskilling, Learning and Career Development

Real-time digital skills matrix, learning packs, and mentors-on-demand allow frontlines to acquire new skills. As this takes hold, your teams become cross-trained and multi-skilled creating a learning organization. The real-time skills matrix allows leads and supervisors to optimize flexibility to meet production needs.

Redzone allows the frontlines to own their progression turning jobs-for-now into careers-for-life.

  • Easy to follow Skills Matrix to show the skills a team has
    and the opportunities an employee has to grow into
  • Increased agility with clear training packs and activities to
    aid in cross-skilling
  • Self-service career progression to keep frontline workers
    on track and growing forward

On-the-Job Training That Matters

Augment onboarding with continuous learning available throughout the factory.

  • Seed teachable moments with lessons to make it easy to
    learn or refresh as required
  • Make every task approachable with multimedia work
    instructions where and when they are needed with a
    simple QR code scan from the iPad.
  • Step-by-step How To videos produced by your local
    experts, not actors

The Redzone 90-Day Program

90 days is the perfect amount of time to create meaningful process and behavioral change without overwhelming your organization. The repeatable, predictable program consists of:

  • A short preparation phase to get you and your environment ready
  • Development of an agreed-upon success plan
  • Create onboarding plan, including CEO welcome video, and buddy system
  • Implement on-demand work instructions for key tasks that align with business priorities
  • A factory-wide celebration to communicate success to the whole company and reward your teams for their cross-skilling

Predictable Outcomes

The average factory in the Redzone Community is losing around $1.6M annually due to short-staffing and a lack of cross-skilling. The Learning module significantly reduces that loss through increased cross-skilling and a better employee experience.

  • Teams can easily identify skills gaps using the 3-by-2 rule of thumb and the Skills Matrix
  • Teams share knowledge freely and rapidly with a system that captures their experience forever
  • Employees own their career path through learning packs, and cross-skilling
  • Individuals and teams are recognized for sharing knowledge cross-skilling, and career progression
