Training and monitoring employees' progress is essential for the success of any organization. It ensures that employees are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to carry out their roles effectively. In this article, we will explore the objective of training and monitoring, and how the QC Read & Understood app can assist you in preparing for your management review meeting.

Why is Internal Training important?

The primary objective of employee training is to ensure that individuals have the knowledge, skills, and competencies required to perform their job responsibilities effectively. Training equips employees with the necessary tools to excel in their roles and contribute to the overall success of the organization. Additionally, ongoing training allows employees to stay updated on industry trends, technological advancements, and best practices.

Biggest mistakes you can avoid

Training employees is a crucial investment that can help organizations steer clear of common pitfalls and costly mistakes. By providing comprehensive training programs, organizations can prevent errors such as miscommunication, lack of compliance with regulations, decreased productivity, and diminished employee morale. It not only enhances job performance but also fosters a culture of learning and continuous improvement, ultimately leading to a more efficient and successful workplace.

Why you should monitor employee training records

Measuring and keeping track of employees' training records is vital for both certified and non-certified companies. For certified companies, monitoring training records allows them to demonstrate their commitment to quality objectives outlined in certification standards. By consistently measuring these records, certified organizations can ensure that their employees are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the quality expectations set by certification bodies.

For non-certified companies, measuring training records serves as a goal to strive for. It allows them to enhance their workforce's competencies, improve job performance, and increase overall productivity.

ISO Standards that require employee training

Several ISO standards require monitoring employee training to ensure compliance and competence. The standards displayed in the table below, are some examples of them and recognize the significance of monitoring employee training to ensure that employees have the necessary competencies and knowledge to perform their roles effectively and safely. By implementing monitoring mechanisms, organizations can assess training effectiveness, identify gaps, and take corrective actions to ensure continuous improvement and compliance with ISO standards.
