DEVELOPING A TALENTED WORKFORCE
Employee Education & Training Programs
G&W is developing our workforce for the future and building the next
generation of leaders by creating learning and development opportunities
for all our employees. We offer training and development programs aimed
at reducing workplace injuries, advancing leadership skills, and building
on our employees' interests and talents.
Some of the education and training programs we deliver include Target
Zero, Leading Forward, and Structured Problem-Solving - all designed
to raise risk awareness, develop employee leadership skills, and enhance
the company's culture. Since the pandemic, G&W has switched to virtual
training for our Leading Forward and Structured Problem-Solving courses
to continue to provide these important resources to our employees while
adhering to public safety regulations. In addition to these programs, G&W
offers more than 35,000 certification training courses.
Standardizing Conductor Training Programs
In the spirit of continuous improvement, we standardized our conductor
training in 2020 to ensure consistency in safety and compliance
education. The modules that make up this program are taught by certified
peer trainers from within the organization who exhibit strong safety and
operating skills. These trainers are mentored to provide a higher and
more consistent level of training, while building trust and bonds across the
organization.
"After the training module at G&W changed to its current form, I could
immediately see the positive outcome. When our students come for
the 2-week conductor class, they have a much better understanding of
safety rules and the tasks that are required for a successful conductor."
