Local manufacturer, Oatey, knows that workforce development is essential for companies that want to cultivate a top-quality workforce.

The benefits of workforce development are twofold. On one hand, the employees gain from training, while on the other hand, the employers also enjoy a higher-skilled, more motivated team. Benefits for companies include:

• Reduced turnover rate
• Increased operational efficiency
• Improved productivity
• Enhanced innovative thinking
• Proactive, not reactive, problem solving
