Why Empowering Blue-Collar
Workers is Key to Productivity
Meet Mike.
It was a typical day at the factory. The blue-collared workers were busy completing their tasks, but Mike felt that there was a sense of disengagement and low morale in the air.
He had also noticed a decline in productivity and a higher turnover rate among workers, which was impacting the company's bottom line.
Mike needs to give his workers a sense of purpose and pride in their work.
He knows that he needs to help enhance the workers’ skills and improve employee engagement in order for them to take on new responsibilities and provide them with the support they need to succeed.
Mike sturggled with the administrative tasks that came with the job. He found it challenging to keep track of schedules, deadlines, and paperwork, and often felt overwhelmed by the paperwork and documentation required by the company.

Possessing strong soft skills in the workplace is necessary, but blue-collar workers often receive minimal training, leading to confusion and error on the job.

Mike needs to empower his workers to do better and create a positive and inclusive culture where everyone felt valued and respected.

Managers require a diverse range of skills to effectively manage construction projects.
Effective communication skills are essentials to have to convey information accurately and understand instructions which can help prevent errors and misunderstandings that may slow down productivity.
Workers need to have a strong grasp of the technical skills required for their job. This includes knowledge of machinery, tools and equipment used in their work.
Problem Solving is good to have as one should be able to identify problems and come up with practical solutions on their own or in collaboration with their team members.
One should be adaptable and able to adjust to changes in their work environment, equipment, or process.
Research consistently demonstrates that 85% of job success is attributable to well-developed soft skills,
whereas only 15% can be attributed to technical skills and knowledge.
CLASSROOM TRAINING
While Mike can learn these skills through self-help books or YouTube videos, classroom training offers several advantages:
#1
Interactive Learning
Classroom training provides an interactive learning experience where you can engage with professional trainers - while learning from their wealth of experience and the experience and of other participants. This allows for feedback, group discussions, and role-playing exercises that can enhance your learning experience.
#2
Personalised Feedback
In a classroom training setting, trainers can provide personalised feedback to help you identify areas of strength and weakness. This feedback can help you tailor your learning to your specific needs and goals
#3
Practice
Classroom training provides opportunities for you to practise your soft skills in a safe and supportive environment. This can help you build confidence and develop your skills more effectively than simply reading about them in a book.
#4
Networking
Classroom training provides an opportunity to network with other participants who are also interested in developing their soft skills. This can help you build relationships and gain new perspectives on different challenges.
#5
Structure
Classroom training provides a structured learning environment that can help you stay on track and focused on your goals. Self-help books may lack structure and can be overwhelming, making it difficult to know where to start and how to progress.
