Maintenance Boot Camp

Hi everyone,

I'm the National Maintenance Trainer for a company in Colorado. This coming April we will be holding the first ever maintenance boot camp and will be flying in 25 service managers from across the country. I plan to cover the fundamentals: tour of the corporate office, mission/vision statement, meet and greet with the department heads, and have a fun team building event like paintball or lazer-tag at the end of the course. Does anyone have any other recommendations on topics I should cover? I also proctor for a few different HVAC organizations and am thinking about doing some type of certification class while everyone is here; but only have 3 days with everybody. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Angel,

With our company we usually send out a survey to the maintenance team to see what they would like to learn more about. Once we get all of the results back, we schedule vendors from those areas to come in and speak about what they want to learn about. For instance, any new HVAC updates, we have Century A/C supply in to speak. Pool questions, we have a local pool vendor to come. It works out well because you are training them on what they are interested in and what they want to know more about. This lets them know you care about their opinions too. Good Luck with your bootcamp and hope this helps.

Thank you, Kelly. I appreciate your advice; its very helpful.
