Conundrum Holdings
Reducing Training Time to free up the Trainer for other Tasks
Background
![]()
Conundrum Holdings’ quarry sites are involved in the extraction and processing of source rock to produce a variety of crushed rock products. They are also involved in the manufacture and delivery of pre-mixed concrete and have sites in metropolitan and regional Victoria.
Conundrum has a high number of contractors entering their sites each week. Individual inductions were taking a lot of time by management and reduced their time on other business tasks. The inductions also relied heavily on the communication and training skills of each manager. As a result, individual inductions may have been inconsistent and there was no permanent record of what was actually delivered in each induction.
Here’s how we solved the problem:
Conundrum needed training materials that would be able to withstand extreme scrutiny and that could be used to train a variety of staff and contractors..
- Using our Digicast Training Methodology, we converted the training materials into a friendly, conversational script in easy to understand English. The safety committee approved the script.
- During filming, care was taken to ensure that every single learning message was shot from a variety of angles to make comprehension clear (and to make the training video more interesting).
- While with the edit, we paid extra attention to making sure that the all of the training messages were clear and could be understood by a school student. Titles were added to increase message comprehension and retention.
- All of the training sections were edited into stand alone chapters, allowing different contractors to be shown training video components that are relevant to their activities on site rather than going through all of the induction video.
- Each person now watches the video and is assessed on the content, so that Conundrum knows that they have been taught all of the right information.
And here’s what happened:
- Management has greatly reduced their need for one-on-one training and now has time to complete other business tasks.
- Contractors are more involved with the training, with video being an engaging media irrespective of literacy levels.
- Conundrum Holdings has been thrilled with the quality of the production and that they now have engaging training materials of a high standard.
"They were able to deliver our project on time and to a very high standard."
"We continuously aim to improve the safety and productivity of our sites. Now that we have a quality training tool that can be incorporated into our site induction process, it will ensure that the inductions are of a consistently high standard while also freeing up management to get on with the task of actually managing the sites. The adaptability of the video with other forms of media will also be very useful.
I’ve been really happy with the whole process and we have received some very positive feedback already. I found the staff at Digicast were very easy to work with and they were able to deliver our project on time and to a very high standard."
