Employee turnover continues to be a challenge for the manufacturing sector and is expected to grow over the next decade as tens of millions of workers reach retirement age. The two biggest drivers of employee turnover are people feeling valued and appreciated by their managers, and an onboarding experience that helps new employees feel connected and empowered to succeed. According to research, effective manager training and onboarding can cut employee turnover rates in half.

The Challenge

A $600m revenue manufacturing company with 1,200 employees faced climbing attrition rates, reaching over 100% on an annual basis. This growing problem was costing the company millions of dollars in expenses and lost opportunity. Increasing compensation expenses would dramatically impair the company and appeared to be a “no-win” scenario.

The Solution

The company hired Whistle and deployed two employee programs focused on improving the employee experience of front-line workers.

  • A new employee onboarding program focused on making employees feel valued and a sense of belonging by their peers and managers.
  • Real time payments. Shifting reward funds that were delayed and lost in a paycheck to real-time distribution, increasing the impact of the existing budget without additional expense.

The Result

  • Easy to administer saving time and money.

  • Turnover reduced by 26% in 30 days

  • Preferred by team members.
