  • A leading manufacturer that requires 85 percent of its employees to be in continuous training showed production rates at four times that of its competitors.
  • An apprentice program designed to train employees across competencies enabled the company to achieve Six Sigma quality and a 90 percent retention rate for participating employees.
  • A company that evaluates employee satisfaction through interviews, surveys, safety performance, turnover rates, crew meetings, grievance procedures, strikes and personal interaction, found that this integrated approach helped it to achieve a turnover rate of less than 0.25 percent.
