The future of workforce management in food manufacturing

摘要

According to Gideon Joseph, practice director at Ultimate Kronos Group (UKG), the organisation's goal is to empower workforces and, in doing so, empower companies. "We believe an organisation’s people are their most competitive asset," he said. Joseph said it's important to start with the basics of "putting people first". "From an absolute base level, the key thing is to make sure you're actually paying people correctly so that you’re building trust, engagement, and retaining employees," he said. "Then you have to ensure that when you're rostering people, you're not just meeting compliance obligations under the industry award, but also complying with all relevant health and safety requirements." Those can include obligations around number of days worked in a row, proper enforcement of breaks during the day, proper training, and licencing.
