Loewen Windows
Invest in up-front training of your team

DESCRIPTION :

At Loewen Windows, LEAN training starts before new hires start their new job. Loewen has learned that investing in the training of newly hired employees prior to starting in their new position, makes them stronger and positively impacts the work culture. Hear how simple techniques can teach new employees to see waste before they start work at their station or office desk, making them ‘LEAN waste hunters’ and how engaging team members and empowering each of them to continuously fix ‘what bugs them’, makes their life easier and improves productivity and morale.
