Training large groups effectively, efficiently, and at a minimum cost is a difficult problem for most companies as they try to balance the demands of production and the need for well trained employees.

Traditional media like VHS and DVD don't engage the user and are expensive to facilitate and document. New training strategies like e-learning work only when your employees have immediate access to computers. SISTEM resolves these challenges in a single, cost-effective solution.

The demographics of the American workforce continue to change, with non-English speaking persons now representing a growing majority.

Alchemy's training libraries include almost 40 industry-developed courses that can be delivered through SISTEM as unique collaborative instruction in either English or Spanish. Alchemy can also work with customers to translate the training into other languages as needs require.

The cost of non-compliance has grown dramatically in recent years.

Regulatory agencies are more aggressive and the media is hyper-focused on food and product safety. SISTEM tracks all plant level training to a centralized, on-line-based database which allows for easy data reporting that greatly simplifies regular and ad-hoc reporting requirements. With SISTEM you ensure training compliance and are prepared for audits.

Alchemy’s SISTEM provides the courses necessary for training compliance in the SQF 2000 Code requirements. The SQF 2000 Code is recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) as a standard that meets its benchmark requirements. Due to an increase of food safety incidents worldwide, there has been a weakening of consumer confidence in the capacity of regulators to adequately assure food safety. The SQF 2000 Code can be used by all sectors of the food industry. The Code is a HACCP based quality management system that encapsulates NACMCF and CODEX HACCP Principles and Guidelines, proven methods used by the food industry to reduce the incidence of unsafe food reaching the marketplace. It is designed to support industry or company branded product and to offer benefits to Suppliers at all links in the food supply chain. Products produced and manufactured under the SQF 2000 Code certification retain a high degree of acceptance in global markets.

Auditors are moving from simple verification that training occurred to validation of subject matter.

SISTEM allows you to not only deliver the same message company-wide, it gives you the ability to test for retention by validating the employees’ understanding of the material while the training occurs.
