The challenge

Reece recognised the need to equip its diverse workforce—including office, retail, and warehouse personnel—with comprehensive compliance training.

The lack of mandatory training in their development plan, coupled with increased regulatory scrutiny, made uniform training across multiple locations a challenge. They needed a solution that was relevant and accessible to all employees.

The solution

Reece partnered with Safetrac to integrate compliance training into their staff development plan. This strategic shift moved away from self-service online learning to a comprehensive, mandated training initiative.

Customised training:

Collaborating closely with Safetrac, Reece developed a tailored training program that resonated with their unique culture and diverse audience.

Phased rollout:

The training began in April, with no pilot phase due to the strong relationship with Safetrac and thorough discussions throughout the training development.
