The skills gap isn't just a hiring problem - it's an operational crisis that degrades OEE, inflates COPQ, and puts your people at risk. Gnowbe is the performance platform built to close the gap by delivering verifiable competence at scale.

The Skills Gap is an Operational Problem, Not Just an HR Problem

Every shift, you're losing money to inconsistent procedures, preventable errors, and a lack of verifiable competence. These are not abstract risks; they are daily drains on your profitability.

15-20%

Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ)

The skills gap directly fuels scrap, rework, and defects, consuming a massive portion of your revenue.

$2.3M

Per Hour of Downtime

In automotive manufacturing, a single hour of unplanned downtime can cost millions, often caused by preventable human error.

$165K

Per Willful OSHA Violation

Failing to provide and verify adequate training isn't just risky - it's a massive financial and legal liability.

The Old Way vs. The Gnowbe Way

Stop choosing between slow, ineffective training and fast, un-vetted "tribal knowledge."

The Flawed Compromise

You're stuck between "black box" platforms that correlate activity to results and "speed-focused" tools that risk scaling incorrect procedures. Both leave you exposed to safety, quality, and compliance risks.

Our competitive analysis reveals why traditional L&D platforms fail to address the unique demands of manufacturing excellence and compliance.

Your Questions, Answered

How does this solve the skills gap if we can't find people?

The skills gap is a two-part problem: finding talent and retaining it. By providing best-in-class training and a clear path for advancement, you become an employer of choice. Gnowbe helps you solve the retention part of the equation, which makes the recruitment part easier by building your reputation as a company that invests in its people.

Our procedures are complex and highly specific. Can AI handle that?

Absolutely. Gnowbe's AI is designed to be your co-pilot, not the pilot. You provide the specific source material - your SOPs, technical manuals, safety procedures - and our multi-agent system, using research in andragogy*, structures it into an effective, engaging learning experience. Your subject matter experts are always in control, ensuring accuracy and relevance.

*Andragogy: Like pedagogy, but for adults.

How is this different from a standard Learning Management System (LMS)?

A traditional LMS is a system of record, designed for administrators to track course completions. Gnowbe is a system of performance, designed for the frontline to build and verify skills. It's mobile-first, social, and built around an andragogy* of learning-by-doing, not passive content consumption.

*Andragogy: Like pedagogy, but for adults.

How do you ensure compliance with regulations like OSHA?

Gnowbe creates an auditable record of competence. Instead of just a quiz score, you can show a regulator a time-stamped video of an operator correctly performing a LOTO procedure, followed by a digital sign-off from their supervisor. This level of verifiable proof is the gold standard for demonstrating due diligence and ensuring compliance.
