People Training and Development for Better Business Outcome

To move the whole industry forward, it is key that investment in a company's own workforce should be the first place to start. This can come in many different forms from gaining knowledge of the signs of when preventative maintenance is required, to the skill to be able to change a blown hose and fitting onsite, turning wasted time into profit.

This might seem intuitively obvious, and it is, but for years the sector has been trained to solely outsource this to localized mobile hose repairers.  This business model can cost end users significant downtime, higher operating costs, and loss of autonomy. However, through training and development, it is not too late to rethink and restart using a company's own experienced team.

So why should a business invest in training and development? 

With increased training & development and knowledge in the industry, those working with heavy machinery are able to understand, analyze and predict the behavior of assets in view of better cost and time efficiencies.

With a better understanding of hydraulic hose and fittings, along with innovative technologies, businesses through their staff can take back control of their outgoing costs and have more accountability for their asset.

Machines are getting smarter and more connected, so regular training of your staff is vital to keep up with the additional time and cost demands put on your business. Businesses that can work more efficiently and maximize the technologies available will be able to rise above the competitors.

What results should a business see from increased investment in training and development?

Businesses need to be thinking about hydraulic repairs and maintenance as being more than just fixing a blown hose; they need to think about it as more of an investment in their business deliverables. Machinery with minimal downtime means minimal staff downtime and in turn, a greater ability to meet targets. Employees, who have access to training and development, demonstrate increased loyalty and performance whilst also being able to better serve internal and external customers.

When teams are more engaged in the task at hand and understand the benefits of process and procedure, they are less likely to have safety issues on the job, giving employers greater peace of mind.

When an employee has access to the training they need and require to move with changing technology, they can see the direct impact that training has on their work. This creates a sense of ownership, not only for how they work personally but also for the success of the business as a whole.

Employees who are invested in, with training, tend to be more invested in the success of the business, demonstrating increased job satisfaction, which very often reflects in their increased productivity.

Smarter, happier more productive staff leads to better business outcomes, so it’s worth the investment.

The BOA Solution includes 3 specific areas of training for the development of your staff:

Hydraulic Hose Training 

Ensure your team is trained by those who have the skills and ‘know how’ to assemble hydraulic hoses, following the same principles used in original manufacturing facilities. Your staff will feel such a sense of pride in learning a new skill and contributing to the ongoing success of the business with reduced downtime. Gaining knowledge around hydraulic pressure and the impacts on the hose is important, not only to the repair of the hose but to keeping everyone safe onsite.

Health and Safety Training

As part of the BOA solution setup, safety training is given using best practices and we provide those training with recommended safety equipment and aids. As new team members come on board, we can train them or provide refresher training to existing employees. Some companies chose to have a designated staff member who over time will train others in the team, increasing the knowledge across the company.

Product Training

With 3 generations of experience and many years in the industry, BOA has the expertise to match the right crimping machines to the chosen application, including the appropriate hose & fittings.  We pass on this knowledge to your staff, training them on new products as well as innovative technologies such as our BOAhub app. Using technology to manage your large-scale machinery is key in this modern world and helps your employees and company to stay ahead of your competition.
