"Increased knowledge of the staff not only for how they do something but also why they are doing things.  We find the team are bringing issues to our attention rather than management or QA picking them up.  The Polaris Learning Consultant has been incredibly helpful on a number of levels - from highlighting production issues, helping with quality and technical issues and also providing solutions."

The Modern Apprenticeship system is now being used on site to support the harmonised working conditions and has been written-in to the revised job descriptions which are used to provide a career map through the roles available on site. Everyone on site has developed from this programme and a healthy debate has resulted in an increased level of professionalism from everyone at the factory."
