I cannot tell you enough- If you are trying to breakout into logistics and be the sponge that you are, I can't stress enough how it's so important to really get to know new people and really challenge yourself to learn. There's so much knowledge out there to obtain. Build your brand, connect with new people, and truly throw yourself into the fire to learn with the right resources behind you. #strongestwomaninlogistics #freight #3PL #logistics #transportation #learning

Public service announcement: STOP asking straight, white people to run DEI workshops because they're your friend. I'm a strong believer in turning down opportunities if I don't feel I'm the best fit for the job, and this is one of those examples. I often get ask to deliver DEI training and I say no. I feel that those opportunities should go to people who have real, lived experience of being a part of minority and marginalised groups. The sad fact is that white people want white people to do things. The amount of businesses who will enlist the help of their mates to deliver what *should* be very important and meaningful work on diversity is staggering. And there are plenty of people with no morals who will accept the work and take the cash, full-well knowing they're not best placed to carry it out. Don't be that company. Don't be that person. EDIT: If you have any great DEI consultants/consultancies/epic people in general, please tag them below so we can get the right people doing the work that's needed.

Each year, we get a flurry of enquiries from HE teams between late April and July, as colleagues look for effective ways to use up any local training budgets before the end of the financial year. Two of the easiest ways to arrange training with us are to: 1️⃣ Buy individual tickets for members of your team for our ticketed events. See https://lnkd.in/eGGjkFcf for our list of forthcoming events. 2️⃣ Book an online training session for your team or university (up to 25 people) at a time that works for you. We have made it easy to book a time for delivery on our website at https://lnkd.in/eKwj2SKu. (If you know you would like some online sessions but do not yet have dates, contact us via our website and we can discuss ways to enable you to prepay; we can then agree the delivery date(s) at a later stage.)

THE TRAINING AND SKILLS GAP IMPACT by Dennis Speigel - Kirmes Magazine The leisure and amusement industry has always implemented successful training programs. For decades, our programs included hiring young people that demonstrated potential, with the intention of grooming them to rise through the ranks and be rewarded with management positions. We taught standard operating procedures and used methods such as classroom-style training, shadowing an upper-level employee, role play scenarios, and even graded testing to assure knowledge. We implemented follow-up processes to reinforce knowledge, staff went through extensive on-the-job training, and adjustments were made if the employee did not perform as expected. This process often took weeks and months. It was a way for our park managers to know that employees were being primed to take over key management positions when the time came. As we all know, the Covid pandemic has had a significant impact on our industry’s hiring and training programs, not only our theme park industry but the restaurant and hospitality industry in general. I have spoken to many colleagues recently who are in top management positions and who have expressed concerns over a “training and skills gap” that was generated by the pandemic. How did this happen? I believe several important factors contributed to this decline of employee training during the pandemic.
