Ways to Improve Employee Turnover: The Power of Effective Shift Scheduling
Circadian Case Study: Addressing Employee Turnover at a Large US Manufacturing Facility
A manufacturing plant with over 2,000 employees faced severe turnover issues, impacting absenteeism, morale, safety, and overall performance. The root cause was identified as dissatisfaction with the work schedule.
The management team, unsure how to address this complex issue, partnered with CIRCADIAN, a neutral expert founded by a Harvard Medical School Professor. CIRCADIAN's Shift Schedule Optimization Process (SSOP) offered a research-based, unbiased approach to redesigning schedules while involving employees in the process.
This strategy aimed to enhance employee engagement and address the underlying scheduling problems, ultimately improving plant performance and reducing turnover.
