To many layers of Management, no focus on workforce development, capital improvements, or faculties improvements within the Seneca Falls campus. Skilled labor salaries are driven down and things have moved backwards as far as process record keeping!
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Skilled labor should be tested better with simple trials of their skills. Have better experienced individuals do the interviewing, follow up with all applicants regardless of employment.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Improve the shop floor moral with wage increases, & workforce development. Improve supplier relations! Improve machining and assembly processes. Do capital improvements, most machines get more money in repairs then they are worth. Purchasing & maintenance budgets arent compared, new machines needed
What are some of the best things about your team?
Skilled labor does try to work together and help each other out, they also pick up slack from management that doesnt seem to know what they are doing because ITT hires college degrees and not experienced management, nor do they seem interested in promoting within.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Driving moral on the shop floor, better compensation and benefits pay would be a good start. Improving workforce development and showing they wanted to keep the doors open by doing capital improvements would be good too. Process controls need to be put back in place, and opportunities for advances!
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Company needs to work with the union in increasing wages and benefits because skilled labor has lost 60% of its wages due to retail labor (minimum wage) increases and inflation. Capital improvements need to also be done and a shift in middle to lower upper management needs to be made.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
No training for skilled labor, No opportunities for workforce development (ie. Sending machinists to better skills, working to promote within) Most experienced labor has retired or moved on, and a lot of knowledge has been lost, leaving those that can do to carry most of the burden for the same pay!
