There is typically a 2X productivity difference between the fastest 25% of your field workforce and the slowest 25%. That is probably not very surprising though we will explain how we have consistently seen contractors measure this difference. 

The surprising fact is that this gap isn't even close to the biggest factor in field productivity. Dive deeper with your team into the other major factors and to what degree you are experiencing each of them on your projects. 

Engage Your Whole Team for Maximum Results

Maximizing field productivity requires collaborative communication and action across every role on your team.

• Bring full cross-sections of your project team together in one or more locations for this training.  Labor productivity is a team sport.  
• Use this training as a catalyst and schedule time immediately afterward to develop a roadmap specific to your company.  Bring in food and make it fun.

The value of training cannot be measured by cost alone.  It must be measured by the impact it has on your team and ultimately, the results produced.  Depending on your situation, private training tailored specifically for your company may have the best return. 

• Integration of metrics, terminology, pictures, projects, examples, and other specifics for your company and the markets you compete in.  
• Group exercises designed to help with your biggest priorities.  
• Integration of other content from across all of our training and development programs used with our retainer clients based on your specific needs. 
• Delivery times are typically 1/2 day spent with labor productivity training and facilitation tailored specifically for your company followed up with 1/2 day spent on developing the improvement roadmap. 
• Follow-up sessions designed to ensure progress is being made.
• Development of a multi-part training program to accelerate development of your team.

Cost varies based on the level of tailoring, location, and scheduling.  Please schedule a conversation to see if private training could be the best option for your company.
