Mankato, MN -- (SBWire) -- 05/13/2015 --In the 1990s and 2000s, the manufacturing industry saw middle management hollowed out and was introduced to part-time/contract labor forces, and the replacement of routine work by robots, software and outsourcing. Factories were left with a smaller set of "knowledge workers" — the ones who could think for themselves as well as use their intuition and personal skills. Since then, those skilled workers that remained "aged out" and retired. Onboarding new replacement manufacturing labor teams requires a different set of requirements, especially as those under 30 are used to constant feedback and recognition for work performed.
The average manufacturing C-level executive is the age of the new workers' parents. There is a great admission that communicating with younger workers is a challenge and unfamiliar. This is giving way for companies like PDP Solutions hired as a third-party vendor to handle the internal employee communication for manufacturers.
