(Magnatag: Macedon, NY) -- Magnatag’s magnetic Cross-Training Whiteboard system organizes and displays employee training, qualification, and proficiency levels in up to 18 skill disciplines. Placed where everyone can see it, workers are silently encouraged to learn and qualify in as many skills as they can.

“We found everyone really takes pride in the number of magnets next to their name on the board,” notes the operations manager of a Florida HVAC company. “Each magnet represents a skill. If you don’t have enough, then it shows us you’re not doing enough to be part of our team, so we’ve tied this system into our yearly performance reviews. We set up the board and posted it on the floor so everyone can see who is qualified in different areas. Employees are encouraged to help each other improve. They don’t have to wait around to be told where they can go. I can’t say enough good things about this board. It is extremely easy to use and quick to update.”
