Your Plant Tour Sucks: How manufacturing technology impacts hiring and retention

Human Resources appears to overlap very little with the work done on the factory floor. In fact, these two departments are more linked than ever in today’s tight labor market. HR issues like high operator turnover, unfilled positions (skilled and unskilled alike), and long onboarding processes, all directly impact top-line growth and bottom-line profitability for manufacturing businesses. How can new technologies alleviate these HR pains and growth constraints?

Join William Healy III, Global Industry Segment Leader, Welding, as he shares new factors that make major impacts on recruitment and retention in today’s factories.
