If you think training employees and watching them leave is expensive, try not training them and watching them stay.
Is an investment in solder training considered a quality initiative for your company? Answer: Yes! The price of employee training is insignificant when compared to the costs associated with lost production, lost revenue and reduced competitiveness. Don't let your quality initiatives suffer from a lack of training. When employees learn and apply proper soldering techniques, quality is enhanced. Quality soldering reduces rework. Reduced rework increases production efficiency and decreases production costs. All of the above equates to customer satisfaction and increased profits. Is the end result worth a small, up-front investment? YOU BET IT IS!
