Onboarding Tip #2 for Seasonal Manufacturing Hires – Prioritize Key Outcomes

In manufacturing, onboarding seasonal hires means moving fast—without sacrificing precision. Outcome-based training helps you ramp up safely and efficiently during peak production cycles.

Before onboarding begins, identify the key outcomes your seasonal hires must achieve to contribute safely and effectively. Start with your non-negotiables.

• Do they understand the safety protocols required in your facility?
• Can they follow your production process accurately?
• Are they aware of quality assurance expectations and deadlines?

If your team must master lockout/tagout procedures, PPE usage, or machine operation basics, make those your first training priorities. Use digital tools to track completion and comprehension, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

Outcome-based onboarding not only protects your people, but also your bottom line by:

• Minimizing downtime.
• Reducing training waste.
• Lowering compliance risk.

Your outcomes-based learning also offers a potential branded certification program. A solid certification path can result in increased loyalty from staff, mastery of knowledge and skills, and meaningful recognition for future career positions.

Pro Tip:

Revisit critical training at regular intervals. One-and-done training won’t cut it—repetition leads to retention.
