"a significant improvement in our injury incident Rates"
  
The Injury Prevention and Increased Productivity Programs from the Institute of Health and Human Performance (lHHP) and Harold Washington College have exceeded our expectations. Our employees can physically feel the difference after training, and these programs have improved the employee\'s attitudes about the workplace creating an improved organizational and safety climate...

...The unique design and implementation of these training programs has seamlessly integrated a proactive injury prevention culture within our company that our employees functionally participate in, and benefit from, on a daily basis.

Increased Profitability by 5 to 10%
  

The OSHA safety programs that we were able to train have provided our employees with the skills, knowledge and procedures to work in a safe environment while limiting our exposure for OSHA fines and/or employee accidents and injuries that would cost us tens of thousands of dollars.

As a direct result of the training, we have been able to realize increased profits of over 5%!

We were very pleased with the training our employees received from the Workforce Institute of the City Colleges of Chicago. The training on computer skills allowed our employees to accomplish 8-10 times the amount of required documentation without sacrificing the quality of client care. We saved at least two hours per week for the people trained on Word and one hour for those trained on Excel, this results in a savings of over $38,000. This training continued to benefit us when in December 2009, DCFS indicated that our workers have to do even more documentation. We chose to use Excel to do that documentation. Thanks to the Workforce Institute training our workers were able to jump right in and learn what they needed to in order to meet the demands that are being placed on them. So the training continues to pay off for us. We have been impressed with the professionalism of the Workforce Institute in providing the training and in managing the grant process for us. We look forward to additional training with them.

We appreciate the Workforce Institute\'s professionalism in providing the training and in managing the TIFWorks grant process for us. As a result of the training, we improved our efficiency by increasing the percentage of case resolutions to over 80%! This is remarkable since our goal was 29%. We attribute the training that was received from the Workforce Institute with being a driving factor in that achievement. We could not have accomplished what we did without them and will consider them for the future.

The training provided included OSHA Safety Training, Injury Prevention and Lean Manufacturing techniques. Before the training we were at risk of endangering employees and incurring OSHA fines. We also had productivity, overtime and inventory concerns. Since the training, we have not incurred any serious injuries or OSHA fines. In all, we estimate that this training has saved us over $275,000 in reduced overtime, prevention of possible OSHA fines and inventory management.

New Horizon Center
  

With the CCC Workforce Institute our teachers and therapy staff received instruction on Microsoft Word and Outlook. Materials were customized to reflect practical day to day use. The course focused on instructing teachers and therapists in basic functional techniques and tasks that reduced their record keeping time while heightening their productivity. Our goal was to cut the average time spent on reports, incurring a savings of $20,000. Not only did we reach our goal but we exceeded it. In addition, these skills enabled our teachers to enhance their processional development opportunities by aiding them in the certificate renewal for their teaching certification.
