At this year’s inaugural Top Shops Conference, I moderated a workforce development panel consisting of a diverse group of people. Two of them were Mike Griffith and Reid Leland. Both men face the same problems of growing and retaining new employees, but the difference in scale of their shops means their approaches are a bit different.
- Mr. Griffith, chief operating officer of 400-employee Major Tool and Machine in Indianapolis, Indiana, highlights the shop’s efforts in employee development, care and engagement.
- Mr. Leland, president of 30-person LeanWerks, located in Ogden, Utah, describes some his shop’s worforce development tactics that largely required a bigger investment in time rather than money.
