Most people would agree that custom eLearning can provide a successful vehicle for training most of your supply chain. It is only recently, however, that many of our clients have embraced custom eLearning for their warehouse staff.  And, it has proved to be highly successful! Historically, online training for warehouse staff has been considered too intrusive to the daily routine of the staff members or computer access has been inconvenient. At KMi, we have seen a reversal on this perspective as companies realize making computers accessible and providing online training time for employees has resulted in better trained and better functioning staff.

Developing customized eLearning content for your warehouse teams results in:

• Just-in-time and on-demand training access. This allows your staff to participate in training exactly when it relates to their job need resulting in a higher level of learning as they apply the knowledge more immediately.
• Custom eLearning can be developed and deployed quickly as learning gaps are identified or new skills are required. This means that your training program is dynamic and speaks to the real needs of a work environment. It eliminates the training delay common with most other learning programs.
• Customized content speaks to their actual job function.  When you provide custom eLearning content curricula, you are presenting the content that relates to the staffs’ actual jobs, functions, and skills. There is no extraneous content to cloud and confuse the learning. It saves time and makes the learning more valuable to both the employee and the company.
• Increases skill level of the warehouse staff and improves productivity of the warehouse. As your staff understands that the training is truly valuable to their job success, they embrace the opportunity to participate. And, because the training is available continuously, it can serve as a refresher and knowledge bank, adding ongoing value.

In addition, the training can be tracked and reports generated through our SCORM conformant LMS, eLMS. This can assist you in understanding where your learning gaps are, how your learning programs effect your warehouse function and provide other metrics for evaluating your learning curriculum.
