EMPLOYEE TRAINING PROGRAMS. At Tech Army We provide a climate where employees are continually developing their skills and are committed to meeting and exceeding clients’ expectations. We invest a significant portion of our gross income on training our employees to continually improve efficiency and productivity while maintaining the professionalism required for conducting business in a competitive marketplace. This enables the employees to stay abreast with the latest technologies and new developments. In order to ensure that our employees are equipped to meet the challenges of the changing times Tech Army has instituted an R&D team of excellence that is constantly researching to find effective and efficient ways to perform our day to day tasks. This team then makes recommendations that are reviewed by our senior management team. Once approved, our Training Development Analysts develop Web Based Trainings (WBT) and other training material to prepare our teams to use the new methods while our IT team prepares to deploy the same into our production environment. We provide below screenshots of such a WBT for RCRMS. New versions of this WBT are available every 3-4 months. As a result of our continuous training programs Tech Army has been able to continually improve its processes and hence the delivery to our clients. Moreover, this keeps our staff motivated and hence allowing us to maintain a low attrition rate. In addition to the above we subscribe to various online training programs such as Skillsoft and various other LMS (Learning Management System) tools. Tech Army will also ensure that employees are trained on any mandated stuff outlined by the Customer. Tech Army’s Managers also conducts periodic training seminars for their in‐house team members to ensure that they follow proper protocols and remain effective and compliant with the company policy in their day to day work. These seminars are a great place for us to communicate any policy changes and hear from our teams about any issues they may be encountering in specific areas. This allows us to address those issues to maintain a smooth operation.
