As people get to know, trust and respect each other more, the better they are able to work.

In manufacturing, which relies on the perfect combination of human and machine,  the fundamental basis of every project is a team of people; therefore, the health of your team is one, if not the most important, aspect to consider at a management level if you are to deliver on your strategy.

Workers with boots on the ground, doing everyday tasks run the risk of feeling disconnected from the overall mission and vision of their company, if that misalignment is not addressed it could easily turn into micro issues. All of these take time to deal with and all can potentially reduce the throughput of the plant. So what is the solution?

With mental and physical health more on the radar more now than ever before it's critical that modern businesses take the time to monitor and address this area and work with employees to encourage feedback, organize and run team building, and to have an open door policy to management who are willing to listen and react to issues.

By doing this, leaders can keep their team focused on what matters by ensuring it stays aligned with the values and mission and make sure the team is complying with the myriad of assignments thrown at them.
