Now that we’ve crossed the threshold into 2018, many companies are thinking about ways to make their workplace more productive in the New Year. Can you apply some of these tips to your shipyard? Of course you and, and there are many ways and reasons to make that happen. Here are a few things you can start today to help improve your marine employee productivity levels.
Employ the latest technology
Sticking to the way things have always been done isn’t usually the best way to increase efficiency. Instead, it may be time to explore some of the newest forms of technology that can help your employees be more effective at their jobs. Look into the options available for each of your positions and see what investments will be worth your time.
Review your safety procedures
You never want to take safety lightly, but there may be ways to improve safety and efficiency at the same time. Look at the current trends in safety, revisit some of your employee training programs. You can work with your team to ensure that safety and productivity are top priorities.
Listen to and use feedback from employees
Your employees are doing the work every day, so take time out to talk with them about their experiences and challenges. You can gain some insight on what might make their jobs easier and improve productivity in your shipyard. Be sure when you listen to your team, you are using this feedback to make improvements. They want to be heard and if they don’t see any changes, they may become easily frustrated.
Work with a marine industry staffing partner
Another way to ensure that your shipyard is running at peak efficiency in 2018 is to work with an employment service that understands the specific needs of your company. No two businesses are alike, and that is especially true for companies in the shipbuilding industry. So don’t work with a general staffing agency. Your specialized partner can help you increase productivity through better hires, project staffing, and safety training.
