The questions are typically multiple-choice, multiple-response, and true/false. But Sholeh Gharib, training manager at Skyworks’ Woburn, Mass. manufacturing facility, says that Perception allows Skyworks to easily incorporate other types of questions, such as picture-based questions. “We might show them three pictures of a worker entering a manufacturing area, and ask them to identify the one that shows a safety violation,” said Gharib. “For example, one picture might show the worker with their gown on incorrectly or with their hair out instead of confined.”

Gharib adds that Perception has made it easier for Skyworks to document that employees are trained properly and know all of the legally required procedures. “Perception has automated our compliance and regulatory training,” Gharib says. “Without it, we couldn’t show that everyone has had the training they need, or what they learned from it. With 4,000 employees, we needed a tool that allowed us to track and document our efforts.”
