General managers for construction companies, also called construction general managers, general contractors, or constructors, are some of the busiest people in the entire workforce. They are in charge of planning, implementing, and tracking safety, compliance, and training activities for hundreds or even thousands of people.

Training employees has many benefits, including increased job satisfaction, morale, efficiency, and innovation. However, many companies treat training sessions as one-off activities and then expect their employees to be superhuman working machines. It doesn’t work like that.

At VAIRKKO, we pride ourselves on providing the fastest and easiest way to manage a company’s workforce in one unified intelligent platform. Our workforce management solutions cover powerful tools such as training management and certification tracking.

Similar to many businesses, we faced many challenges in 2020 that made us adjust some of our business processes from state-wide lockdowns and more. We are, however, thankful for a great year despite the challenges. With your trust, we were able to achieve some amazing goals this year.

With increasing regulation within many industries, keeping track of what is important and necessary  can be quite a task for any human resources department - not to mention, time consuming. With looming audits, and fear of falling out of compliance, there are many moving parts that HR professionals need to keep in check. 

VAIRKKO released a new feature in the Certification Cloud platform called QR Verify. The system helps employers to quickly check certification status for their employees while out in the field without access to their VAIRKKO platform.

For Immediate Release - June 11, 2019

Whether you’re already using a training database, looking to create your own from scratch, or shopping around for one for the very first time. We have created a list of the do-not-skip when purchasing (or even creating) a training database. These features and functions will make sure that no training is skipped, all employees have passed their respective trainings, managers are notified, and the process is repeatable - not to mention, scalable.

Microsoft Access, a software that comes within the Microsoft Office Suite, is known as an even better alternative to Microsoft Excel when it comes to creating a training database to track the training of your individual employees, monitor certification renewals, and more. While the software is robust enough to create tools to track other need-to-knows like job proposals, performance reviews, receipts and more, and can be used as a storage system for information that falls within these categories, the software can get just as cluttered as Excel. The information can become difficult to sort, search through, and ultimately loses its purpose other than a glorified holding place for lots of information that is important not to lose.
