Getting More From Less; How Cross-Training Affects Your Company

March 30, 2009 - PRLog -- As global demand falls and budgets tighten, businesses will need to get the most out of every human asset: their staff. By cross-training staff to perform more job functions, they can create a more dynamic and flexible workforce that can adapt to tougher times.

“We have staff members who can operate multiple machines. Other departments that have benefited from cross-training are the Estimating, Purchasing and Scheduling sections,” says Chris Miller, Vice President of Manufacturing.

There is also a sense of security in cross-training. “I have cross-trained my assistant in multiple posts, and am in the progress of cross-training another employee in order to ensure we are always covered,” says Jill Carey, Vice President of Production.
