Go Beyond Compliance with WorkForge

In heavily regulated industries like food production, employee training programs often focus only on meeting compliance standards. However, compliance alone doesn’t guarantee that employees are fully equipped to perform in their roles. This is where WorkForge intervenes, providing a learning and development solution that drives compliance while building and tracking employee competence. By going beyond regulatory checkboxes, WorkForge empowers the industry to develop a more skilled, confident and engaged workforce, addressing critical challenges like skill gaps, knowledge transfer and staying audit ready.

The Problem: Compliance Isn’t Enough

While regulatory compliance is essential, it doesn’t automatically mean a well-trained workforce. Many companies focus solely on meeting legal standards, leaving employees underprepared for the real demands of their roles. OSHA has stated that 54% of food production workers report feeling scared or unsure at work due to inadequate training. This lack of confidence impacts individual performance and contributes to safety risks and production inefficiencies.

Additionally, traditional compliance training often falls short in tracking knowledge retention and application. Without this insight, businesses risk costly mistakes, high turnover and even non-compliance.

The Solution: Trackable Competency

WorkForge provides trackable, competency-based training. This allows businesses to monitor employee progress in real-time, ensuring that employees not only complete training but also master critical skills. The platform provides tangible data on performance, empowering managers to make informed decisions about further training, promotions or role adjustments.

A primary challenge for many companies is the skills gap. As technology advances and regulations evolve, keeping employees up-to-date becomes difficult. WorkForge solves this problem by offering specialized, industry-specific training that aligns with real-world job requirements. Employees stay current on best practices and regulations, becoming more competent and capable in their roles.

WorkForge's system tracks knowledge retention and skill application through features such as its intuitive on-the-job training function. This function provides clear visibility into employee competency through a series of accountability checks and balances. It reduces the risk of non-compliance, ensures that employees are confident in applying their skills and always keeps the organization audit-ready.

Another common issue is low employee engagement in traditional training. WorkForge combats this by delivering interactive, accessible learning and development modules tailored to specific roles, making the learning process more engaging. Employees who track their progress in real-time feel more motivated, boosting both confidence and productivity.
