The manufacturing industry has experienced significant change in the last few years accelerated by rapidly evolving customer demands, technology advances, supply chain disruptions, and on-going labour shortages.
Your leadership position can depend on how quickly you identify and adapt to opportunities. Tap into the power of your people by leveraging digital workforce management solutions to ensure you can operate with greater agility.
Create Moments That Matter,
Everywhere Work Happens
Modern Workforce Management Propels Manufacturing Leaders
Improve your team’s ability to sense and adapt to change.
• Schedule shifts with qualified workers based on optimal production and capacity
levels, coverage gaps, and priority work.
• Communicate real-time process changes and provide micro training for upskilling/
re-skilling teams at the time work happens.
• Maintain compliance with ever changing legislation, company policies, or union
agreements.
Be Ready for Change
Provide clear and consistent communication that engages workers and keeps production running smoothly.
• Enable workers to do their best work with easy access to SOPs, troubleshooting guides,
and micro trainings.
• Give associates control over work/life balance with early and easy access to schedules
and self-service shift swapping.
• Quickly act on employee sentiment with pulse surveys on topics such as unplanned
overtime and extended work hours.
Win and Keep Top Talent
Eliminate costly mistakes, while equipping your workforce to get more done with less. Engaged employees do better work, and profitability grows along with worker satisfaction.
• Minimize errors, payroll leaks, and repetitive tasks with automated time, attendance,
absence, leave, and gross pay processing.
• Optimize labor utilization with machine-learning labor forecasting for better
scheduling and intra-day labor reallocation.
• Avoid costly overtime with proactive alerts when actual work does not align with
planned work and workers assigned.
