Creating a More "Human-Centered" Workplace to Address Labor Shortages

March 28, 2023 | Report

To acquire and retain hourly staff, Kohler Company is focused on building a culture where employees feel valued by improving their employee experience and revamping recruitment and hiring strategies. Since furloughing or laying off many employees at the onset of COVID-19, the service and manufacturing sectors have struggled to restaff and operate at prepandemic levels. According to The Conference Board 2023 C-Suite Outlook, CEOs’ top internal focus for 2023 is to continue to attract and retain talent, and CEOs see labor shortages as a major disrupter to their 2023 business operations. To retain and attract employees amid this hourly worker shortage, Kohler Company, a kitchen and bath, energy, and hospitality organization with 246 facilities worldwide, is revising multiple talent strategies.
