Automation specialist Festo has launched a range of miniature pneumatic grippers with a focus on high levels of precision.
Festo Didactic's Embedded Coach course is specifically designed to help companies maximise their return-on-investment in personnel training.
Research has shown that without proper guidance, few people retain more than 20% of the knowledge they gain on training courses for more than 3-4 weeks.
It is for precisely this reason that Festo decided to introduce the Embedded Coach course, which encourages continuous development through reflective learning.
According to Gary Wyles, Managing Director of Festo UK: "Embedded Coach has been developed by our Festo Didactic Training and Consulting division here in Great Britain".
"Our customers need personnel training to improve business performance in as cost-effective manner as possible".
"We see that many companies who are forward thinking enough to invest in developing their workforce then fail to maximise the impact of their investment by not planning the process effectively".
"One big step is to embed coaching skills into their culture".
"In doing so, staff development is more effective, change processes are more efficient and the investment can contribute to employee satisfaction or motivation".
Festo Didactic's Embedded Coach course is offered as a two day open workshop but can also be adapted to suit individual company's needs and align with existing training programmes.
Festo Didactic can also offer pre- and post-course on-site consultancy where necessary.
The course is highly participative, and includes presentations, partner activities, discussion sessions, practical exercises, video material, workbooks and a personal development plan for each participant. Request free introductory details about products from Festo ...
