Teaching The Basics: The Importance Of Micro-Level Training

Kathleen Hurley is the founder of Sage Inc., a tech company that offers SMB businesses infrastructure solutions and next-gen technology. Without training, your investment in software is wasted, your employee value is reduced and your company's productivity is constrained. You know the importance of training already, but considering what you choose to train your team on is just as important as offering training in the first place. Training on the right platforms, products and focus points can provide your team with the information and insights they need to make choices that support your business and allow it to go faster and further. A 2016 survey conducted between different methodologies and organizational practices revealed that 44% focused on training employees toward improvements in quality. More recently, a LinkedIn Learning study from 2024 shows that the vast majority of companies train in order to retain employees. Quality and retention can go hand in hand, since the longer the tenure of the employee, the stronger the product delivery for the organization overall. Training that is based on a needs analysis is even more powerful and productive, since it is targeted and hits the points that the organization and employee will benefit from most. These findings help businesses defend spending on something that may otherwise seem like a time and cost sink to some. Taking time away from production to attend a training session has to be justified by something, and a gain in productivity is what many companies are currently seeking. While many companies may focus on high-level training areas such as Six Sigma, Lean and other methodologies, I would like to propose that it's the micro-level training topics that matter even more: training employees on the basics of their jobs periodically can not only enhance productivity, but it can improve quality and add a third, crucial element: employee confidence. When employees have not had introductory training since their first month on the job, it can be a difficult task to remember what was explained, demonstrated and outlined during that introduction to Outlook, Word and Excel. Employees must not only be re-introduced to HR policy and cybersecurity training annually, but also given re-introductions to the basic functions of the programs and platforms they rely upon to produce their work. The tools employees rely on are frequently updated, often without formal guidance. At the same time, job-specific tasks and workflows evolve in ways that weren't covered during onboarding. To keep employees aligned with both the tools and the evolving context in which they're used, companies should offer short, recurring refresher sessions. When these are built into the culture—not treated as one-off interruptions—they become easier to schedule, more relevant and more widely attended, especially by employees balancing heavy workloads. Another approach that can help with retraining is the integration of computer-based training. While having an in-person trainer when possible is indispensable for answering questions in real time and informing the direction of the next training session, computer-based training allows additional flexibility for each learner. This is especially helpful when enabling employees to take courses on their own time when they're able. No matter how you elect to design the training program, offering retraining as an option—even when a needs analysis suggests that no remediation is needed—can help reinforce skills through repetition and reintroduction. This approach can help boost confidence, increase speed and productivity, and improve the quality of output across the organization.

Perma-Fix Environmental Services Expands PFAS Treatment Capabilities to New Waste Streams

ATLANTA, Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: PESI) (the 'Company') today announced the expansion of its proprietary PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) treatment technology to address a broader range of contaminated waste streams beyond AFFF (aqueous film-forming foam) materials including PFAS concentrate collected from leachate and waste water. This milestone follows successful trials and marks a significant step in the Company's mission to provide comprehensive, sustainable solutions for PFAS remediation. Building on past successes, where the Perma-Fix process demonstrated the ability to destroy PFAS in high-concentration commercial waste, the next-generation treatment technology has been adapted to treat leachate and wastewater concentrate. In June, the Company received the first commercial batch of these new waste streams and will begin treatment imminently in the full-scale reactor, with plans to treat these materials in future units as well. The technology is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing for potential future deployment at customer sites. The current focus remains on centralized treatment at the Company's facilities. The market for water separation technologies—including foam fractionation systems, reverse osmosis systems, and resin-based systems—is experiencing rapid growth as organizations seek to concentrate PFAS from large volumes of contaminated water. These separation technologies are highly complementary to the Company's destruction technology process. By collaborating with leading providers of these separation solutions, the Company delivers an efficient and cost-effective pathway for the final destruction of PFAS concentrate, addressing a critical gap in the remediation value chain and enabling customers to meet stringent regulatory standards while controlling costs. The Perma-Fix system is competitively priced compared to alternative destruction methods. In addition to cost savings, this approach helps address the potential for legacy environmental liabilities that can arise from storage, incineration, or landfill disposal that do not provide for full destruction. By providing comprehensive destruction of PFAS compounds, the solution reduces customers' long-term liability exposure and supports compliance with evolving regulatory expectations—a benefit consistently recognized by clients and partners in past projects. The PFAS remediation market continues to grow, driven by increasing regulatory scrutiny and the U.S Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) ongoing consideration of hazardous waste classification for PFAS. Industry estimates suggest that the addressable market for PFAS treatment in the U.S. alone could reach several billion dollars annually, as tens of millions of gallons of contaminated water and soil require urgent remediation. The Company's scalable solution, combined with collaborations with companies specializing in water separation technologies, positions Perma-Fix to serve large generators of PFAS waste including municipalities, industrial clients, and government agencies—by providing a comprehensive approach from separation to final destruction. Dr. Lou Centofanti, Executive Vice President of Perma-Fix, commented, 'We are excited to expand our PFAS treatment capabilities and address new waste streams, further strengthening our leadership in this critical sector. Our technology's proven performance in destroying PFAS , combined with our commitment to innovation, enables us to meet the growing needs of our customers and support a cleaner environment. By working closely with water separation technology providers—including foam fractionation, reverse osmosis, and resin systems—we are able to offer a comprehensive, efficient, and cost-effective solution for the destruction of PFAS concentrate. Importantly, our approach not only delivers cost savings but also minimizes the risk of future environmental liabilities for our clients by ensuring comprehensive, permanent destruction of these persistent chemicals.' About Perma-Fix Environmental Services Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. is a nuclear services company and leading provider of nuclear and mixed waste management services. The Company's nuclear waste services include management and treatment of radioactive and mixed waste for hospitals, research labs and institutions, federal agencies, including the U.S Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S Department of Defense (DOD), and the commercial nuclear industry.
