Continuous Learning
Many employees are left feeling behind with skill gaps, making it harder for them to complete their jobs effectively. Learning and developing your team’s skills helps them as they advance in their career and help your organization run more productively. With Pinnacle Series continuous learning, you can help onboard people, train them on the proper technology, such as SOLIDWORKS, all while targeting specific skill gaps.
Knowledge Capture & Sharing
Documentation of knowledge relevant to your organization’s processes and the skills needed to complete the job at hand are essential when looking to scale and onboard new members to the team. Organizational silos often pose a major barrier to knowledge sharing and can result in a magnified deficit in the case of employee turnover due to lost knowledge. With Pinnacle Series, you can capture your organization’s best practices, standards, procedures, and even workflows needed for any given role.
Increased Productivity
With a better trained team and well documented practices and procedures, increased productivity comes naturally. Keeping everyone on your team up to date on the latest skills for any number of tools they may use on a day to day basis keeps them actively engaged. Having access to the right tools and technology empowers your team to solve problems swiftly and effectively, keeping your projects on track with high quality and consistency.
“With Pinnacle, I have a one-stop shop that I send people to for training. And I just love that I don’t have to think about it – I know this is good content, I know this is on brand for what we’re doing. And then from the leadership perspective, I think what leaders gain from it across our company is they’re getting better candidates with the assessment function, but also they know where their teams are, and that’s huge; that’s half the battle. So they get a new hire, they take the assessment, they know where they’re at, and they know where to work from.”
