The Key to Success: Knowledge Transfer and Networking
New employees often face a steep learning curve. High standards, complex quality requirements, and industry-specific technologies present them with significant challenges. Through Cross-Location Trainings, they can benefit from the experience and expertise of colleagues from other locations—whether through multi-day training programs, targeted workshops, or intensive on-the-job training. The exchange of knowledge across borders fosters not only technical understanding but also intercultural competence.
A Successful Start: The First Steps in Steyr
The success story of Cross-Location Trainings began several years ago with a seven-day training session for the machining team from weba Olomouc at the Austrian Steyr site. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive: participants reported increased expertise, improved workflows, and a strong sense of teamwork. This success was the catalyst for the systematic rollout of cross-location training initiatives at all weba sites.
Diverse Formats, Clear Goals
From three-month design training programs and one-day strategy workshops to buyer training and specialized experience exchanges, Cross-Location Trainings take on many forms. The primary focus remains practical knowledge transfer and its direct application in daily work.
The benefits for both employees and the company are clear:
- Strengthening Quality Awareness: Better understanding of customer requirements.
- Promoting Teamwork: Closer collaboration between different locations.
- Enhancing Intercultural Understanding: Overcoming language and cultural barriers.
- Identifying and Implementing Improvements: Driving innovation and efficiency at each location.
A Win-Win for Everyone
Cross-Location Trainings are more than just knowledge transfer – they are an investment in the future. Employees gain new perspectives and skills, while the company benefits from increased efficiency, motivation, and quality.
At weba, we thrive on the expertise and passion of our employees – and with Cross-Location Trainings, we are taking them to the next level.
Success has a home, but sometimes more than one – at weba worldwide.
