The real causes of workforce problems are often difficult to see. What looks like a productivity or quality issue is frequently tied to how employees are hired, onboarded, developed, and supported. When these systems break down, the symptoms are turnover, inconsistent performance, and insufficient productivity levels. These three offerings help manufacturers strengthen hiring, improve productivity, and develop employees into long-term contributors. 

If you're struggling with:

  • People leaving before they finish their first 90 days
  • Attendance or tardiness issues with new employees
  • Getting new people to interview—you see the same faces applying over and over
  • Overwhelmed supervisors due to the constant influx of new trainees
  • New hires taking far too long to learn the work instructions and come up to rate

Onboarding and Retention Program Design

To Reduce Turnover and Improve New Hire Success

Early turnover is expensive—and it often signals that employees aren’t getting the clarity, support, or environment they need to succeed. When new hires leave in the first 90 days, the problem usually starts from day one on the job with how people are hired, onboarded, trained, and supported. MAGNET helps you build a structured approach to hiring, onboarding, and early training so new employees understand the work, become productive faster, and are more likely to stay.

Investment: $5,000–$10,000 
Timeframe: 2–4 weeks
ROI: 3 months
Bottom line: Reduce early turnover and get new employees productive faster. 

If you're struggling with:

  • Inconsistent performance across teams or departments
  • Quality problems appearing late in the process at inspection
  • Supervisors struggling to manage and motivate newer employees
  • Productivity problems that are difficult to explain
  • Not knowing whether issues come from processes, training, or supervision

ROI: 4 months post-implementation
Bottom line: Identify what’s limiting productivity, and focus improvement efforts where they will have the biggest impact.

If you're struggling with:

  • Employee performance plateauing year after year
  • Employees resigning suddenly with little explanation
  • Employees reluctant to cross-train or take on additional responsibility
  • Difficulty getting employees to step up when production demand increases
  • Experienced employees hesitant to share knowledge with newer workers
