Maintaining the knowledge and skill set of personnel can be challenging. With a wide range of equipment and services to maintain and manage, it becomes difficult for workers to stay on top of everything and to pick up all the needed skills on the job. New digital connected services and machines make it even harder to keep pace.
A shortage of skilled labor is also contributing to the challenge. A high proportion of experienced knowledgeable staff are exiting the workforce or the industry. With demand for these skilled workers already higher than the current supply, a skills gap within the industry is rapidly developing.
Remote site locations and pandemic related travel restrictions add more barriers to personnel training. A combination of live and online training is becoming a necessity. Nonetheless, today’s business environment demands to get more from less and knowledge plays a key role in achieving this.
