Changes in Pulp and Paper Industry
The need for training derives from the fact that the pulp and paper industry is changing. The three major changes noticed are:
| 1) |
Demographics |
| |
- Workers retire and take acquired knowledge away with them |
| 2) |
Decrease in number of employees |
| |
- Leading to increase in workload of existing workers |
| 3) |
Decreased budget |
| |
- Companies spending less amount on training therefore the need to allocate funds to most effective way of training |
Training Standards
Before commencing training, companies have to understand what the training standards are. They would have to address the two aspects of training ‘What to do’ and ‘Why’. Setting training standards includes ensuring that employees are equipped with at least a minimum knowledge of what needs to be done and how to do it effectively and safely.
Understanding the competency of employees would also allow training to be targeted at areas of strategic weakness thus making the training investment more worthwhile.
