How can employees improve their skill level?

2009-03-06View Original

Thread Content

Based on the problems that have occurred in the workshop these past few days, it seems that the operators there make frequent simple mistakes. Is this due to a lack of operational skills or some other reason? These are employees who have been working here for several years; perhaps production has been too smooth over these years, and now that some problems have arisen, they don’t know how to proceed or what to do about them. Should training be enhanced, or should other measures be taken? Another issue is the constant emphasis on safety matters; it’s mentioned in every weekly meeting, over and over again. Yet two safety incidents occurred during this period. How should safety training be conducted to ensure that employees truly understand the importance of it? I hope everyone can give me some advice

We have also made low-level mistakes; it is a part of the process. Minor errors need to be analyzed afterward, and it is a process of growth for everyone. However, it is essential to ensure that they understand thoroughly in order to remember it well. The same goes for safety: when working, responsible people should be assigned to carry out the tasks, while those who are less competent can be used as observers; this is also a learning process. This approach is much more useful than theoretical knowledge, as more hands-on experience leads to a deeper understanding of safety and operational procedures.

It’s mainly a matter of mindset; the awareness is insufficient, and it’s necessary to strengthen the ideological education of employees. . Those who lack a sense of responsibility should be dismissed outright, especially for tasks that are relatively dangerous. It is necessary to keep employees highly accountable at all times and strengthen the development of their safety awareness

To be honest, I doubt you’re still in school right now... You’re too naive. If you really want to improve your operational skills, spend more money and hire more highly qualified employees. You get what you pay for. Should we strengthen training or adopt other methods? Training is basically ineffective for those who are already experienced. Why do the workers refuse to work properly? Because they have given up on getting promoted. Anyway, working is just working; no future lies in putting in effort, so why bother? The best approach is to compile a set of accident handling manuals so that young people can learn more from them, and to provide some money as a reward fund. Give those who perform well a chance for promotion, thereby motivating the more experienced employees and giving them some hope as well. At the same time, strengthen the evaluation system by assigning extra points for promotion to those who are able to handle accidents. Safe? Hehe, let them participate in the event. For example, having them eat with fewer fingers or undergoing tests with flammable gases to show them the severity of it – that way they will be afraid. Fearing keeps you safe. It’s a pity this isn’t reliable. Not understanding safety is mainly due to ignorance. Find more examples of accidents, then clearly outline the causes and consequences of those accidents and send them to them to scare them, so that they realize how severe the outcomes can be; that way they will pay attention. After all, everyone is afraid of death. Last edited by steinback on 2009-3-7 00:11]

This period is a time when accidents occur frequently, usually in February; it may be related to people’s emotions and psychological states, but there has not been much in-depth research on this topic, and there are few experiences that can be used as references. Last month, one of our team leaders made an extremely stupid mistake: when putting the frequency converter into use, he got it wrong as to whether the motor was rotating in one direction or the other. It was a single-suction centrifugal pump – how could such a mistake happen, and moreover by a team leader! ! ! Incredible! Solution: 1. I believe it is necessary to pay more attention to the mental state of employees. If it is noticed that someone is often distracted and lacks enthusiasm, then they should not be assigned important or critical tasks, as this could easily lead to accidents. 2. At this time, when the yang energy is on the rise, one might sometimes lose their temper without realizing it. As a leader, it is essential to remember to strive to control oneself; otherwise, one’s negative mood can affect many people. 3. The method recommended for the fourth floor should work; it’s worth giving it a try. This post was last edited by czx000323 on 2009-3-7 00:39.]

Increase the intensity of assessment – those who are more capable will get more!

For any training to achieve good results, it is first necessary to help employees adopt the right mindset and understand its importance and purpose from the outset.

1. Combine theoretical training with practical operations. 2. Pay attention to explaining the structure of the equipment and the principles of production, so that one can understand fundamentally why certain operations are carried out in that way. 3. Foster more communication – three wise men equal one Zhuge Liang; more communication leads to improvement

The questions designed for training at each position include both theoretical and practical aspects. The questions are presented in stages, progressing from simple to more complex; an exam is held after completing each stage, with repeated training provided.

Here is a passage from it: To use an extreme analogy: suppose that being one minute late results in execution; would you still look for excuses in such a situation? ! And such situations can occur at any time on the battlefield or in the business world. Low-level, repetitive mistakes are unforgivable; they can lead to *inertia, with serious consequences. Let’s rely on the system to resolve this; we can’t allow things to continue like this. It’s not a matter of skill level either.

Now, only when everything is linked to rewards and punishments can it be effective. The prerequisite is to provide proper training; if you yourself don’t know how to do things correctly, how can the operators follow your instructions? You can’t even identify the mistakes. I also have some personal experience: if you check the production records and conduct a probability analysis, you might find that certain people produce less overall during their shifts than others. The reason goes without saying, right? . .

Training, more training, retraining. However, one still needs to become proficient.

1. Essential theoretical knowledge*; 2. On-site drill ; 3. Necessary guidance and demonstration are essential; in particular, those in leadership positions must not merely have a theoretical understanding – they need to be familiar with the operational details, as one cannot enlighten others if oneself is ignorant!

It may seem like an employee issue, but in the end it’s probably a management problem of the company!
Reply #152009-03-07
Everyone understands the issue with operations – it’s a lack of attention; management needs to be strengthened! Let’s all cheer up! This way, fewer mistakes will be made!

There is a problem with the mechanism! The managers on stage keep emphasizing the importance of safety, while the employees below just do as they please. The safety incentive mechanism is inadequate; it fails to be linked to the immediate interests of all employees, or the employees do not experience its benefits firsthand. Incentive systems such as a safety production deposit and doubled safety production bonuses in the event of no accidents can be implemented to motivate employees and enhance their sense of responsibility and enthusiasm.

You’re absolutely right. Sometimes factors like mindset do matter, and I agree with that. But once one enters society, they have to face many practical problems. What is the purpose of working? For most people, it’s for money. As an operator, one might stay in that role for a lifetime; society is too complex. Sometimes, it’s better to get by rather than doing things thoroughly – it’s not suitable for those who prefer to work hard

It’s a matter of sense of responsibility; experienced employees tend to rely on their qualifications and experience in carrying out their tasks, and are reluctant to give up face. A very common phenomenon. Do a good job in personnel allocation

How can employees improve their skill level? ⒈To ensure that those who work hard to promote safe production in factories have a good future and develop loyalty to the enterprise ; ⒉Provide opportunities for advancement for both new and existing employees, and offer them encouragement in a timely manner ; ⒊Leaders should take the lead in learning professional technical knowledge ; ⒋Strengthen training. The training method does not have to follow a fixed pattern; as long as employees acquire the necessary skills, are kept highly responsible at all times, and their safety awareness is enhanced ; ⒌Gradually foster the awareness of learning throughout one’s life.

Strengthen the training of team leaders; assign all tasks to them. Provide some incentives to the entire team every month, as incentives are what motivate people to work harder. This method is very effective – give it a try if you don’t believe me.
