"During the recent installation and start-up of our new spunlace line, Ahlstrom Green Bay adopted a new approach to training, one that was proposed and developed by Inspired Training. In this effort, technical writers from Inspired Training worked with our Operations and Engineering personnel to develop a full compliment of training materials designed to provide basic understanding and operational training for the new line.
The 20+ modules were broken down into Safety, a General Line Overview and then specific modules for each section, and sometimes sub-sections of the line. Additionally, modules were provided for both the trainee and trainer, such that any of our experienced plant personnel could provide this training to new employees.
This new training approach has been very well received by our Operations Group and is also used to provide basic process training for others within
the Ahlstrom Company. Prior to this system, training of new employees was
a constant logistical issue, was not done consistently and was found
lacking by both Operations and Management. We are presently planning to
continue our relationship with Inspired Training to complete similar Training materials for our other process lines.
Inspired Training did a fantastic job in developing these professional training materials.They were conscientious, detailed and dedicated in completing this task on time to support our line start-up and were very flexible with their time, setting their schedule to match Ahlstrom's needs.
They also assisted Ahlstrom in working with the State of Wisconsin to obtain grant money to offset the development cost of these training materials. Overall, we were very satisfied with both the final training package from Inspired Training, as well as, their methodology in completing this task."

"We are strategically committed to the ongoing education and development of our team members, and Inspired Training Institute has become a priceless resource in fulfilling our development goals. They have designed several highly interactive and customized modules to help our team members better understand our heritage, industry, market, financials and organizational systems.
Inspired Training is also mentoring one of our valued team members as a trainer so that the modules they design for us can be delivered by us…modeling their belief that organizations should not create artificial, long term dependency upon outside consultants in order to generate cultural evolution within the organization.
I highly recommend that any company interested in growing their business, developing employees and creating a powerful, engaged workplace work with Inspired Training Institute to put the right tools in place.”

"I am very pleased to unconditionally recommend Inspired Training Institute.
Wisconsin Film and Bag engaged Inspired Training to create and develop a comprehensive training program for all plant Operations employees. The initiative is the largest training/development program we have ever undertaken and we selected Inspired Training because of their experience. Under their leadership, the first Phase (of a five phase program) was drafted and implemented with warm acceptance from our employees.”

"Our partnership with Inspired Training Institute has enabled our company to take our
educational offerings to the next level.
The content is solidly connected to our company's vision, mission, and guiding values
as well as to our HR strategic goals for 2007/2008 to get the biggest bang for our employees'
training experience. Specifically, our employees feel like the classes are a
good investment, and that we have been respectful of their time.
The courses are very much geared towards adult learners who are not used to the
typical classroom experience. We have been able to take dull, 18-hour courses that
actually brought down morale and turned them into 12 hours of action packed activities
with take home value.
Bottom line, Inspired Training has been a “Class A” return on investment for the
Company!"
