Most recorded training cannot be found at the point of need. In energy and industrial operations, that gap has a direct operational and safety cost.
New research from Training magazine and Panopto, based on a survey of 428 L&D professionals, puts a number on it: organizations with a findability gap lose an estimated $576,000 per year in productivity for every 500 employees. In energy operations, where an hour of unplanned downtime can cost tens of thousands, the exposure goes further.
This guide shows you three things you can do this week to start closing that gap across your sites and crews.
Inside, you will find:
How to stop work stoppages caused by workers who can’t find the procedure
Identify the tasks where workers most often interrupt experts or wait for guidance. One recorded walkthrough, reachable on a phone or whatever device is available at the point of work, eliminates the loop across every shift, site, and contractor crew.
How to audit where your most-used SOPs actually live
Map your 3 to 5 most operationally critical procedures and ask where workers actually go to find them when they are in the field. If the answer varies by site or shift, you have a consistency problem that will show up as variable execution and repeat errors. This guide shows you how to fix it, starting with one procedure.
How to identify which procedure gaps are driving your repeat errors
Three questions that tell you whether the right procedure was reachable at the point of work, and a concrete first step if it wasn’t.
