The Problem With Recruitment And Retention Within The Machine Industry
As machines become increasingly automated, highly skilled employees will be crucial to keeping production moving on the shop floor. Of course, offering good salary, benefits, and training is instrumental to finding and retaining this degree of talent in the machining industry. However, workplace safety risks—ranging from slippery floors to misuse of equipment—can threaten your bottom line with costly workers’ compensation claims, making it difficult for small to mid-sized machinery companies to provide these kinds of benefits. In fact, during the first quarter of 2019, more than one-quarter of machine manufacturers had to turn down new business opportunities for lack of skilled employees.
