Employers: How Can Warehouse Operative Apprenticeships Benefit You?
Most employers only pay 5% of the total costs of an apprenticeship for new starters, and there are plenty of incentives for training with apprenticeships. Aside from the low costs associated with this form of staff training, there are numerous other benefits for businesses!
Reduce the Costs of Errors
A well-trained warehouse operative is less likely to make mistakes, meaning your clients are more likely to get accurate orders. Many businesses overlook the true cost of order errors, resending an order and healing damage done to your reputation can amount to much more than just replacing a lost item.
Fewer Costs Related to Accidents
During their level 2 apprenticeship, warehouse operatives will gain a thorough understanding of health and safety, and it's impact on the business. Their training will lead to less spillages, breakages and less workplace injuries. This will save your business money on stock replacement and much more. Over your entire team on a yearly basis, this could add up to thousands in savings.
Gain the Competitive Edge
With a highly trained team, your business will have the edge when it comes to the competition. Skilled warehouse operatives with training are better at fulfilling orders quicker and more reliably. They ensure quality and know how to pack items carefully. Your business will become known for excellence in standards.
Make Gains with Productivity and Efficiency
When your employees gain an understanding of how proper time management and mindfulness can help them organise their workload more efficiently, you'll soon see the difference. With work being done more quickly and to a higher standard, you'll be able to increase your output and profits.
