Show Notes: 

Chances are that if you drive in a region where Flagger Force is working, their team members have guided you safely through a construction zone.  Luke Lazar and Leslie McRobbie of Flagger Force share how innovative strategies—from mobile apps to microlearning—are enhancing safety, engagement, and company culture. Key takeaways include: 

  • Meet Learners Where They Are—Literally: Use mobile-first platforms for communication and training with employees in the field. Choose tools that mimic social apps your employees already use for easy adoption and engagement. 
  • Keep It Short, Consistent, and Relevant: Build a regular cadence of bite-sized content. Prioritize clarity, brevity, and usefulness over length and formality. 
  • Listen First, Then Train: Actively monitor employee feedback channels. Use those insights to shape or update training in real-time. 
  • Create Clear, Structured Learning Pathways: Map out clear development tracks with self-paced content and targeted skill-building that employees can follow at their own speed. 
  • Use Technology to Reinforce Confidence in the Field: Consider QR codes, AR, or interactive guides to offer just-in-time training—especially for tools, processes, or tasks that aren’t used every day.
