- On the one hand, the annual safety briefings of employees were perceived as uninteresting, on the other hand, the planning of face-to-face appointments was very time-consuming. In addition, there was a lack of flexible, location-specific solutions to convey the content effectively and efficiently.
- skillsforwork enables flexible digital training with site-specific adjustments and automated reminders, which has significantly reduced the administrative burden. Employees can learn individually and the final questions strengthen their understanding. The efficiency and acceptance of the teachings have been significantly increased.

challenges
The introduction of skillsforwork was motivated by various challenges, especially in the areas of organization and implementation of safety briefings. One of these problems was the time-consuming planning of face-to-face training, especially for managers who are heavily involved in their daily routine. Scheduling had often proved difficult, which usually meant that several attempts were necessary to reach all participants.
The solution by skillsforwork
skillsforwork proved to have a user-friendly interface and flexible customization options and turned out to be the optimal solution. The platform allows site-specific content such as information on emergency collection points, contact persons and much more.
A big advantage of digital teaching is the flexibility in terms of time for employees. They can independently integrate the training into their daily work within a fixed period of time, without being bound by fixed dates. This has proven to be particularly helpful for employees with different availabilities as well as for employees who go on business trips more often. In addition, the software allows automated planning and reminder of annual trainings, which significantly reduces the administrative burden.
Employees can access content individually and adjust their learning speed. New employees benefit from detailed explanations, while long-term employees can navigate through the content efficiently. Final questions at the end of the instruction ensure that what has been learned is checked.
