Dear all,
For someone new to ISO (having just taken over the running of the project for my company (we are still trying to get accreditation)), I stumbled across this board and have found it to be an excellent resource. I think however, it is time for me to take the plunge and ask a question!
In section 6.2.2 (e) of the standard it states that you have to keep appropriate records of education, training etc. Having spoken to the HR manager, he says that many staff, including senior directors are unwilling to provide educational details. The company has no history of asking for proof of qualifications, even though it asks for them on job descriptions/job adverts. Is this a problem in terms of getting accredited?
Also the company has recently lost a major order, and is likely to be making redundancies in the next year. There are currently no records to speak of for training or competencies. It is therefore likely to be very difficult to assess people's competencies as they are likely to be defensive (unionised manufacturing environment) believing it just to be a redundancy exercise. Does anyone have any ideas about how to overcome this hurdle?
Thanks a lot for any help you can give,
Nick
