The first step is to start training, even if it is something as simple as cross training. For example, you could have a technician assist in some mold PM’s to learn more about tooling.

Your employees will never get into the mindset if you never do any training. Employees want to do a good job, but they need the necessary intellectual tools to succeed.

I understand that there is much more to effective plant-wide employee development than this, but any training is better than no training at all… and you have to start somewhere.
