Top Five Problems You Can Solve Using Ving

Here's the problem nearly all of our customers face. The skilled trades workforce is aging, and younger employees have the highest turnover risk. On average, the turnover rate in the construction/trades industry hovers around 21.4%, with employees 24 or younger reaching about 64%*. 

Compounding the statistics above even further, there aren't enough skilled trade workers to fill the number of currently open positions; company leadership has an expensive challenge. Traditional new hire and skills development processes must be revised, shortened, and streamlined to accelerate skills development, empowering on-the-job access and closing the skills gap.  

Ving technology enables users to capture the know-how of their subject matter experts and create reusable training assets. Their custom training courses greatly accelerate skill development and drive new hire/existing employee productivity. Customers own the training they make and have access to the asset long after their SME is no longer available.

Gone are the days of plopping someone in a chair for a live lecture or watching a 30-minute video. Today's employees (modern learners) require a different approach. Learners need to feel empowered and have real-time access to job-related information.

Fact: the average attention span is decreasing. While videos are one of the most engaging mediums, on average, they can only keep the attention span of an individual for 2.7 Minutes. 

Are new employees more likely to be injured? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, new workers are 5X more likely to be injured on the job than their more experienced counterparts. 40% of all injuries involve people who have been on the job for less than one year, and one in eight injuries happen on an employee's first day. All are very costly scenarios that deserve proactive risk mitigation.

Recurring awareness around the most basic of injuries should be a top priority.

Ving users ensure their employees have the correct, on-demand information when they need it most. Ving technology generates QR codes that users place near problem areas. Employees become familiar with the Ving QR code as a reminder to stop, think, and review. As needed, scanning the QR code retrieves a "how to get the job done right without injury tutorial. 

Requiring new hires to scan QR codes until necessary skills and track records of safe operation is proven reduces the probability and cost related to the injury. 

Over the past five years, we've surveyed over a thousand business Owners and Safety Managers. We discovered that most weekly spend hours on very low-level tasks required to sustain a safety program:

• Searching for training content on the web

• Chasing down employees / Finding the time to do the training

• Aggregating training results

• Organizing training data into reports

• Organizing/preparing for training

• Flying/Driving from site to site

Non-compliance comes with severe consequences - from personal injury to financial penalties. Sustaining a business process that ensures training compliance with regulatory agencies and customer contracts requires a lot of planning and employee involvement. 

All it takes is for one employee to fall through the crack, the one who hasn't finished the training, or worse yet, not even started it, to be asked by OSHA or your customer for proof of training.  

Organizations that can adequately demonstrate to OSHA that they have a  proactive approach to preventing incidents and eliminating the possibility of a recurring incident have the potential to avoid costly fines.
