Training

Our training programs implement face to face, hands on training throughout all stages, to ensure that personnel get the best chance of learning critical skill sets, and retaining information that is paramount to their success. One of the most important messages throughout a good training program includes explaining the "WHY" to employees, so they clearly understand their role in delivering safe and effective treatments to patients.

We will work with you to identify exactly what your training needs are, and develop a solution that meets those needs. Once the plan is in place, our team will work closely with yours to create learning plans, develop content, and deliver a training program based on current regulatory requirements and the specific needs of your site. Train the trainer programs are also available so that employees can take over the training program when you're ready.

Case Study:

Large sterile manufacturing / fill / finish facility

Our client reached out to us and shared that they were having an issue with contamination hits / investigations. At the time, there were so many batches under investigation that the warehouse was full, and nothing was shipping out.

After a few conversations, the solution presented was to bring all operators back to basics. Deploy a refresher training meant to bring everyone back to the same starting point, and re-establish a quality-centric mentality across all shifts.

Over 200 employees were provided to us on a rotating basis, and a combination of classroom and hands on training was provided to improve site aseptic processing behaviors.

The project took about 4 months to fully execute, and once completed, this client reached back out to share that contamination hits had been reduced by 10 - 15% within the first 30 days following completing the training.

Training is a fundamental pillar of success in the pharmaceutical industry, enabling organizations to maintain compliance, ensure product quality, and foster innovation. By investing in comprehensive training programs, companies can equip their workforce with the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate the complexities of the industry, ultimately driving operational excellence and contributing to the delivery of safe and effective healthcare solutions.

Handing people computer access and telling them to read a near endless amount of SOPs is not training, and does not provide the necessary toolkit for success.
