Archelis can help reduce that physical strain, but letting standing workers sit while on the job - at no cost to efficiency. Proven to reduce muscle activity, Archelis is a viable solution to retaining skilled workers. Watch one worker at Tetsuhimaku Galvanising use Archelis. #japan #factory #retention #exoskeleton

Getting senior leadership involved in your employee advocacy program makes a HUGE difference. Not only will their participation motivate employees to get involved, but it’ll boost program results drastically 📈 Let’s look at Lucid Motors as an example: The electric vehicle manufacturer is currently sitting at the top of DSMN8’s employee social media activity leaderboard for the automotive industry in the US. Their team consistently shares company news, company culture content and valuable insights. However, CEO and CTO Peter Rawlinson stands out in particular, generating huge social media engagement. I’m talking about thousands of reactions on his LinkedIn posts. That’s the power of executive influence 👀 If your senior leadership team share their insights on industry news and behind-the-scenes content demonstrating what it’s like to work for your organization… You’ll be miles ahead of competitors relying on brand channels only. In fact, 82% of consumers are more likely to trust a company whose CEO is active on social media. And 79% of professionals would prefer to work for them! For anyone interested in seeing more employee advocacy examples like this one, I'll drop a link in the comments with a list of some of my favourites. #EmployeeAdvocacy #MarketingStrategy #EmployeeInfluencers

"In a survey of more than 300 HR leaders in manufacturing, nearly 70% said labor shortages impact their ability to meet production demands." Maintaining competitive benefits, providing adequate training and developing a pipeline to promote internal candidates could be the eventual solutions. However, the manufacturing industry struggles most to meet the flexibility employees seek--which is an issue facing many more sectors as well. https://lnkd.in/ehBZt4Tq #warfortalent #benefits #flexibility #laborshortage
