Since 1993 GMP Learning has been working and helping companies improve individual competency, job performance and meet regulatory compliance requirements regarding employee/associate qualifications. Results impact the organization in regards to work and product quality, regulatory compliance, increased productivity, and improved safety.
This is accomplished by utilizing various activities involving education, training, audits and consulting to focus on the identified targeted training needs for each company and for all job titles in that company. A needs assessment or gap analysis is a key to designing, developing, implementing targeted training solutions to address deficiencies in job competency and performance. Added compliance audits help to focus on areas that need improvement from a regulatory perspective. Results of the assessment/audit/analysis provide a blueprint from which the targeted performance and compliance solutions can be designed and detailed in an action plan. This customized blueprint will outline what training, education, certification, consulting activities that need to occur for performance and compliance improvement in your organization, thereby impacting overall regulatory compliance and quality. It is a holistic, comprehensive and systematic approach to impact the organization at all levels by focusing on performance and quality systems improvements.
This approach is based on identifying the current state of performance and quality in your corporation and, via the audit or assessment data, identifying and addressing the obstacles and barriers that prevent your company from achieving the desired state of performance, compliance and quality.
