Clear instructions lead to consistent results – especially in packaging, where timing, technique, and teamwork matter.
Train with purpose. Lead with Clarity.
Polaris MEP will introduce best practices in Job Instruction (JI), a proven method for quickly and effectively training employees on the job, during a free, hands-on Lunch & Learn.
