While most calendars this time of year give you chocolates, WorkForge is offering free tips and skills to help you and your team go beyond in 2025.
The holiday season is here, and while most calendars this time of year give you chocolates, WorkForge is offering free tips and skills to help you and your team go beyond in 2025. Our Holiday Calendar of Skills provides you with a daily dose of valuable insights and practical knowledge to help your team excel in 2025. Each day features samples of content directly from our training modules. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s inside:
Safety is the cornerstone of productivity. On December 1, WorkForge highlighted the best practices for using PPE—an essential topic for manufacturing teams. From proper fit to maintenance tips, this skill reinforces the importance of safety in every step of the process.
Key takeaway: PPE is not just gear; it’s a daily commitment to a safer workplace.
Holidays got you tangled in lights, stuck on recipes, or trapped in awkward family debates? Turns out, learning Problem-Solving Skills isn’t just for the workforce - it’s a lifesaver this time of year! Challenges are inevitable but solving them effectively is a skill that can be cultivated. WorkForge’s second day focuses on practical problem-solving strategies to help drive critical thinking to identify why problems exist and proactively solve issues.
Key takeaway: A proactive mindset combined with structured approaches makes problem-solving a team-strengthening exercise.
December 3 focuses on a skill that resonates with manufacturing professionals everywhere: precision. Our third skill unwraps the magic of zero-setting dial calipers:- a critical step to ensure accurate measurements. In our interactive training, you can virtually "handle" the tool, practice setting it to zero, and see firsthand how precision can transform your work.
Whether you're measuring parts or holiday cookie thickness (precision matters there, too), mastering this skill is a game-changer. Because in both manufacturing and baking, accuracy makes all the difference!
Key takeaway: Precision matters not just in processes, but also in communication and execution.
The end of the year is an ideal time to reflect on achievements and prepare for the future. By focusing on skill development during the holidays, teams can:
