Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Chewing the Fat with WorkForge we are joined by Katelin Koch, Human Resources Director at Natoma Manufacturing and Laura Clark, Chief People Officer at BERKS Manufacturing who share a unique story of how a state background check system was down, which meant they could not put new hires on the floor.  So they put them in the classroom instead of the traditional mix of training and OJT and the results were eye-opening.  They’ll share: 
How they found themselves in this predicament 

What they did in response to not lose the new hires (and all the hard work and money that went into hiring them)

How they restructured their onboarding 

The results they have seen 

The feedback they have received from their production leaders
