Here are 4-killer ideas that will change the way we all work forever.

 

The most successful businesses in the world are customer centric 

“The logistics component of retail, online or otherwise, is one of the primary drivers of customer satisfaction. Guiding your investments into innovation and improvements to your supply chain should be done through the lens of the end customer experience. The best businesses in the world are customer-centric and their supply chain strategy reflects this. Step back and reflect if you're working in a business that is customer centric, and if it is, their supply chain strategy should reflect it.”

If you want to keep your employees, you need to regain their trust

“When trying to engage employees through process improvement, it is important to remember that slow is fast.

“In the past, many organisations have behaved in a way to reduce trust and engagement of employees. So, the next time around, in the words of Stephen Covey, you can’t simply talk your way out of the way that you have behaved into.”

Corporate culture is crucial in an age when partnerships are under so much scrutiny.

“The market has shown that corporate culture plays a decisive role, especially in long-term partnerships. Competence, experience, and commitment are undoubtedly the foundation for success. Constantly practiced values such as taking on responsibility, rolling up one’s sleeves, keeping promises, being credible, reliable, and predictable, and remaining down to earth are not buzzwords, but vital key differentiators that make a company unique and not interchangeable on the market.”

Walter Winkler,  founder and owner WITRON

 

Put a worker in a hot warehouse and expect them to maintain high levels of activity and you’re in trouble.

"Productivity losses vary by climate zone, with warmer zones seeing larger losses, but on average, annual productivity losses decreased by 17% with the addition of elevated air speed (at 160 fpm (0.81 m/s). So, we know fans can directly impact productivity.

 For every additional 1-degree Celsius increase in temperature, you’ll lose another 2% in worker’s performance. Anything above 32 degrees Celsius and heat-related illness risk increases and safety concerns increase. And heat stress becomes a very real risk."
