In 2024, we successfully conducted a series of training sessions and workshops that contributed to the development of our employees and the improvement of their skills. As per tradition, we started the year with first aid training and height rescue training. First aid training is provided by the company “První pomoc živě” from Hradec Králové. This company offers experiential courses where participants learn to provide first aid using realistic tools, such as fake blood and artificial injuries. The courses are led by professional instructors and include practical exercises, which increase the chances of retaining the procedures. Height rescue training is essential for the safety of our employees, as working at heights presents a high risk of injury, and proper procedures can save lives.
We also organized a workshop for measurement technicians focused on improving measurement techniques. In addition, we held a workshop for managers and conducted online training on Webdispečink, where participants were introduced to new features and the effective use of the web-based dispatching system.
Employees from the Pardubice office, as well as colleagues from Technical Centrum Pravy, were trained in the field of artificial intelligence, where they learned the basics of AI and its practical applications. We use Copilot, which helps us streamline our work. Copilot can, for example, analyze data, generate texts, provide suggestions, and automate routine tasks, allowing us to focus on more important activities and increasing our productivity.
In mid-2024, we held two two-day training sessions on the telehandler (telescopic handler). We trained employees who had never operated the machine before, as well as those who already had a license but lacked experience or confidence. The training included theory, practical exams, and a test. Upon successful completion of the training, participants received a license card valid for 3 years.
Another workshop for managers also took place. In September, we organized an online workshop for measurement technicians in the area of health and safety, focused on occupational safety and health protection. Additionally, a workshop for team leaders was held, focused on conflict resolution and team collaboration, which also included first aid and height rescue training.
We also use the iTutor online education platform from Kontis. Online training is advantageous compared to in-person sessions as it saves us both money and time. The platform offers several mandatory courses, such as driver training for company vehicles, as well as our own courses, such as height work training, periodic training for machinery like forklifts and mobile elevating work platforms, and many other courses.
If any of our employees wish to develop their soft skills, we offer the BrainTools online educational platform. This platform provides a wide range of courses aimed at personal and professional development, including leadership, business skills, communication, and more.
These trainings and workshops have significantly contributed to the development of our employees and the improvement of their professional skills.
