Several prominent advanced woodworking firms tested the first-in-the-industry Woodwork Skill Standards. Here’s a sample of what they had to say:
DeLeers Millwork – “Most everything in the book is relevant to our company. Book is clear and well laid out.”
Central Plains Millwork – “I feel it gives a great way to evaluate our workforce and a company as a whole and was easy to follow.”
Rowland Woodworking – “I think the Standards Book is extremely easy to use and has a good variation of typical tools used in most woodworking companies. . . . it will help our company . . . qualify new employees, train existing employees, and . . . as an evaluation tool for merit based raises.”
TMI Systems Design Corporation – “The (three) levels work well and the whole process was pretty simple once we got started.”
Wisconsin Built – “I think you hit the nail on the head.”
Louisville Lumber – “What I really did like about this exercise is that it gave me a tool to take to the shop floor to open discussions with employees. We were able to talk about operations, procedures, and safety. My employees were anxious to see how they performed and it provides a measurable goal to reach a higher level.”
