.What incentives do you use to keep help from jumping ship for $1.00 an hour. With the watering down of the machinist trade thru cnc's it seems to be getting harder to get and maintain good help.
With the watering down of the machinist trade thru cnc's.
.Like they said, benefits. Even as relatively inexperienced as I am, I could probably go somewhere else and make a buck an hour more, easy. But the environment I'm in makes me happy. As a company, we have less than 2% voluntary turnover annually. What keeps us happy? Good PTO options. Lunches every day. Employee events paid for by the company. Minor giveaways for stupid things we don't need, but that make us happy. Insurance. A christmas card with a little bit of cash in it. A feeling of family and pride in what we do. A clean, safe, productive work place. I could go on. But if people are happy to come to work, the $1/hr difference won't matter.

personally the free employee lunches and the feel good meeting with bosses do not mean much with me.

for many it is keeping the wife happy. if she feels i am not making enough per hr i have to listen to her complain. that means 10x more than to me than just about anything else. if she wants a new house or a new car the free lunch or feel good team meetings will not pay the bills

Nobody leaves for $1/hr..

I know two excellent Diesel mechanics that left their shop for a buck an hour. One went to driving a Budweiser delivery truck, the other reads water meters.
You'd probably be surprised at how many guys will jump just to make things a little easier on the home front, even at a buck an hour more.
That mind set might give some indication as why you would be asking this question.
Most people go to work for the same reasons, compensation. If someone has a good guy and they let him walk for a measly 40 bucks a week. Well I suppose that's just the chance you'll have to take. If the guy has an actual offer for one dollar more and you won't match it, I say walk. JMO..
