Boeing needs to cull the company HR herd. In a typical Boeing division there is a minimum of five or six layers of HR management and hundreds and hundreds of HR robots. The Boeing HR herd preaches what they call Boeing Behaviors but rarely does any of them personally practice these behaviors themselves. Take it from someone who witnessed a HR robot flat out and lie.
Eliminate the deeply flawed performance evaluation system. Allow only people with engineering degrees manage engineers, and demand thorough knowledge of what they are managing all the way to director's level. Respect engineering knowledge, and listen to their technical expert engineers. STOP allowing outright bullying, HR! It is not just about not being sued, it is very much about morale, which is extremely low at the company.
Empower employees to think for themselves and make decisions. Stop resisting technology from the 21st century. Eliminate bureaucracy. Eliminate silos and organizations that limit employees' potential. Compensate and retain employees based on the value of their labor, not on years, credentials, and completely meaningless job titles.
Get all management retrained that it is the people on the floor that generate value. No disrespect shoulf be allowed to go employees. Establish clear anti-bullying policies, and train everyone.
Remove the barriers between salary and union workers, put everyone on EIP, allow managers to perform performance evaluations on union workers which would help union workers to strive foe excellence.
Disallow any and all meetings without a written agenda and expected outcome!
Build up the relationship with the union folks
Build a better relationship with the union workers
