The COVID-19 crisis has also affected the surveying industry. With machinery at a standstill and no end in sight, many customers decided to put a hold on new orders.
sigma3D has also been affected by the crisis. But this medium-sized company knows how to make the most of the situation.
In a matter of days, internal and external training sessions and workshops were organized for employees, and existing materials were prepared for online presentation. This gives all employees the opportunity to delve deeper into topics beyond their areas of expertise and share their knowledge with interested colleagues.
A wide range of refresher courses is being offered. This gives employees the opportunity to discuss topics such as form and position tolerances or measurement software like Spatial Analyzer and Polyworks. In addition, there are basic training courses on tools like Excel, Teams, and LinkedIn.
External training included Safety Certificate Contractors (SCC) courses as well as various advanced training programs offered by Aukom.
The training program has been well received within the company. Employees at sigma3D report that they made good use of their time during the COVID-19 crisis. The training sessions and workshops not only helped expand their knowledge but also brought the team closer together through mutual exchange.
