How SBD transformed its readiness training and reduced the employee onboarding costs by 54%

Stanley Black & Decker (SBD) used DeepHow to address a major training challenge at its Sedalia plant, where retiring senior employees and the need to upskill new hires quickly made knowledge transfer urgent. The company also wanted to improve engagement and retention for millennial and Gen Z workers while maintaining production efficiency.

Using DeepHow’s AI-powered video training platform, SBD digitized key workflows such as welding and folding into digestible training modules. The result was a 54% reduction in onboarding costs, faster skill acquisition during product launches, and broader workforce knowledge through skill validation, all while creating a scalable, future-proof training system.
