Two essentially identical facilities can have different production levels because of the people involved, but rather than blame staffing problems on employees it is good to consider it starting at the owner and management levels. A good owner will listen to ideas, have a clear path of communication with employees, and genuinely care the happiness and well-being of the pigs and people of his business. A great owner will attract great managers and employees. Managers should be inspired by the owners to be knowledgeable, provide great training, and inspire the employees below them. When there are great owners and managers, employees will more likely be passionate about their job, which is reflected in production. High employee turnover and negative exit interviews are two warning signs that management has critical flaws. The most common reasons people give for leaving a job after a short employment are the job wasn’t what was expected, a job and person mismatch, not enough feedback, too few personal opportunities, feeling devalued and unrecognized, overworked or work-life imbalance, and lack of trust in senior management. By correcting these issues employee happiness should improve, passion for their work increase, and overall production improve.
