Culture as a Competitive Advantage for Manufacturers
Attracting and retaining employees is an increasing concern for manufacturers across northwestern Pennsylvania. Having motivated, dedicated, loyal, and empowered employees is a huge influence on other team members and contributes to a culture where the team supports each other and the company. When morale is good and the team is working together like a well-oiled machine, everyone notices the difference in better communication, increased productivity, more focused attention to safety, reduced errors and waste, and lower absenteeism.
