The playing ground for consumer packaged goods (CPG) businesses has been permanently altered
by shifting customer behavior, new automated manufacturing processes, and variable input
costs. A third of companies are now looking into direct-to-consumer (D2C) channels, which
will further alter business structures.
To achieve organizational resilience, CPG companies must improve staff productivity and
skill sets. They also need to draw in and keep the best talent. However, providing a large,
internationally distributed workforce with the necessary equipment and training continuously
presents a unique set of difficulties.
Experiential self-learning via an LMS in eLearning is the best method for delivering
efficient, repeatable, and quick, scalable training.
Respond to evolving market demands
Upskill your employees globally. Utilize an LMS to make training effective and
repeatable
via learning and development transformation
Immersive online training helps drive standard regulations across the company and
provides
flexibility and robustness to CPG business operations, from technical knowledge for the
sales floor to transferable skills like negotiation. This is for a small portion of what
traditional classroom-based training would cost.
The efficiency of driving training
Your most incredible resource is your workforce. However, only 36% of people who have
recently entered employment believe they possess the abilities and knowledge required to
succeed in their position. In order to develop new skills and boost productivity, highly effective onboarding is crucial in the
CPG
sector due to shifting business parameters.
An LMS makes the procedure more efficient. Virtual training exercises can be developed
once,
distributed throughout the company, and carried out remotely. With institutional
knowledge
and professional experience preserved, training becomes a centralized, repeatable
service.
Introduce repeatability and resilience
The need for versatility in production and assembly operations is driven by changing
market
conditions, yet standards must still be upheld. A crucial aspect of business continuity
is
assisting employees and contract workers to upskill and reskill in reaction to current
imperatives rapidly.
Employee onboarding is made simpler with an LMS. With eLearning, workers can pick up new
capabilities 55% faster, and new hires can be trained on a large scale. In order to
increase
efficiency, training can be repeated whenever necessary without bringing essential
business
equipment down.
Safety and risk management
Safety issues can significantly affect production as well as society. There is also the
estimated $62 billion annual corporate cost of damage compensation.
In a risk-free setting, practical and online, simulation-based safety training enables
workers and contractors to practice work-safe behaviors, ensuring they adhere to global
safety standards. Individuals learn best while doing; thus, after receiving simulated
training, they are 200% less likely to commit a mistake than they would have been with
traditional learning.
Fostering a culture of soft skills
Interpersonal skills can be practiced in a secure setting using online training. It has
been
demonstrated to be a more effective and enjoyable way to develop important soft skills
like
conflict resolution, negotiation, and leadership.
An LMS can also support a strong corporate culture by providing improved equality and
diversity training to further recruit and retain people and increase corporate image
preferences. Employees are free to train whenever and wherever they like. Costs, delays,
and
operational interruptions are all significantly decreased.
Improve your sales and marketing efforts.
Finding the best location for in-store goods and the best pricing strategy takes a lot
of
work and money. It is simpler to test out new concepts in an LMS and see how they affect
the
user experience.
Employees may visualize which goods work well together by using virtual retail shop
scenarios. Additionally, it's an affordable option to do market research on a large
scale,
collecting insightful knowledge as to how to do product placement influences behavior
and
how it can be used to increase sales.
