As an employer in Salt Lake City, Utah, finding employees for your manufacturing jobs may be difficult, and keeping them engaged can be an even more daunting task. However, there are several tips that our recruiters at TalentTeam can provide to keep your employees engaged and excited about work and create longevity within your employment team.
What is Employee Engagement?
Employee engagement is a necessity for companies looking to keep employees for the long term and avoid costly and time-consuming turnover. Even more so, it means your employees feel a connection to their positions both professionally and emotionally. By creating an atmosphere in your Salt Lake City manufacturing companies where employees are committed to you and your company, you’ll find they stay longer and are happier and more productive.
How to Keep Your Manufacturing Employees Engaged?
A common mistake many Salt Lake City companies make is assuming that the more blue-collar positions will always have turnover and simply expect it and plan for it in the budget. However, by creating employee engagement and generating a combined interest in the company, you can change this expectation. At TalentTeam, our recruiters specialize in placing employees in the perfect jobs for their skill sets and personalities. We work with Salt Lake City companies to place employees in jobs they’ll love. Here are some tips our recruiters have discovered to encourage employee excitement about their job:
The Right Employee for the Right Job
When hiring an employee for your manufacturing jobs, our recruiters ensure to learn about the employees. We want to know the likes, dislikes, things they love doing, and what will keep them motivated. We pass this information along to you so you can hire and keep the best employees for your positions.
Give Your Employees the Right Tools
Manufacturing can be challenging for your employees, but you can make it easier on them and keep them motivated for work by providing the right tools. In addition to providing the correct workmanship tools they’ll need in their position, you need to also provide tools for employee engagement. This can mean regular check-in opportunities, easily understandable information about the tools and lines for which your employees will be working, and access to regular training to keep your employees up-to-date on safety and the requirements of their positions.
Individualized Attention
If your employees feel seen and heard, they are more likely to stay at your manufacturing company. TalentTeam has worked with Salt Lake City companies for decades and we’ve found employers that speak and engage with their employees individually will have less turnover and more employment success. Take time for the following:
- Regular check-ins with individual employees
- Consistent meetings with supervisors and managers to understand how things are progressing
- Listen and hear what your employees need
- Implement changes when necessary
