Web Rail's Solutions against Skill Shortages in the Railway Industry
24 November 2010
Web Rail's research has revealed that the railway industry is facing a severe shortage of skilled personnel. Do any of the following sound like the pain being experienced in your organisation:
- You are swamped with more work than you can safely handle
- You would like to employ more skilled people, but cannot find them
- Your personnel are getting work-stressed and are starting to make mistakes
- You are finding that people leave because of stress, despite higher wages and salaries
- You cannot get new people trained because your trainers are already flat out
- You cannot spare current personnel off the job for training
Whilst consulting with its clients, Web Rail consistently found that organisations with these problems are not alone. And it is not getting any better. The above problems are a lot like the chicken and egg riddle to solve: which comes first?
Ease the pain
Not all training has to come from your organisation's own trainers. Research has shown that quality trainers are undoubtedly the best for delivering skills training — no other method beats their on-the-job type of skills development. The quality of on-line learning is better, faster and more consistent than face to face theory courses and repeatable at a much lower cost.
You can cut your trainers' current up-front training commitment, by replacing much of their theory training sessions with on-line learning. Your trainers can then focus on what they do best — developing skills.
