Instituting the new organizational structure, including a structure for training, has helped overcome Axelberg’s original worries about finding good, skilled people. If a company is known as a good place to work, recruiting gets easier.

“We see this facility for one thing being a catalyst,” Axelberg said. “We can use this to get young people actually going into high school, to be excited about careers in manufacturing we think it can be a great thing for our region.”

Manufacturing environments typically are not the nicest environments to work in, with safety, temperature control and cleanliness issues. “We consciously looked at what will attract and retain the best people. Pay and benefits have a lot to do with it, but it’s not the whole story. Environment and culture play a key role. So with the new technologies that are available, we saw an opportunity to create a leading-edge manufacturing facility that our team will enjoy working in,” she said.

Employers concerned about retaining talent, he said, should ask themselves what they can do to provide better opportunities for their employees. Both Axelberg and Bonin believe in helping employees advance within the company and in providing a living wage.

He wanted to change the company culture, but not in an ethereal way. In a sense, he wanted to channel the curiosity and passion employees already had. “These aren’t low-skilled workers. They’re skilled. As we saw it, in most cases they’re really not paid for their repetitive labor, but for their knowledge.”

We think our new facility can help overcome some of the outdated perceptions of what a career in manufacturing looks like.
