32 | Training crucial Hard skills training involve both external and internal delivery and Scafit collaborates with industry providers for core unit standards and advanced safety training. T T from page 30 Scafit Ltd: SARNZ 2023 Awards REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Pay rates are explicitly linked to individuals’ contributions in both hard and soft skills, and rewards are given to those who seek advancement. The Crowleys say goals provide motivation and staff goals vary from wanting to own a home to making changes in their personal relationships so they can thrive. Vision boards and planning steps towards the goal help it to become a reality. Company operations manager Doug Pokiha is a good example. He previously had the role of company trainer and was able to achieve a Level 5 qualification. “Two of Doug’s daughters have followed in his footsteps and have gone on to University. Doug set an example and empowered them to succeed. He’s now written our internal training programme,” says Nicki. Proof that Scafit is doing exceptional work in this area has come from external companies that have heard about their leadership training and have asked for Scafit to deliver this to their own staff. “This helps us to build relationships with our customers,” says Nicki. Both say improvement to their training programme is continuous and their annual ISO audit helps inform this. “All year we are reviewing and improving what we do,” says Nicki. “Each year the auditor comes they can see us growing this. There is always more to develop and we are learning on the way.” The Crowleys say holistic training not only benefits the company and individuals but also enriches personal lives, for example fostering better parenting, stronger families, and contributing to thriving communities. “For us training is more than compliance,” says David, “it is a social imperative.” CLOUD SERVICES HARDWARE SERVICES IT SECURITY & BACKUP INTERNET SERVICES VRC Computers: Supporting the Manawatu for over 20 years Locally owned and operated - Come and visit our new showroom!
