In the latest step of our ARC100 journey, a new team was created to design a Mentor Process for new hires, transfers and temporary employees. The team defined its goals in the following purpose statement: “The purpose of CIT#5 is to develop a thorough, caring mentor process that encourages a positive safety culture and consistent accountability that measures change and promotes teamwork to ensure long-term sustainable success. (this process will apply to all new hires, transfers and temps)” The team developed a process that includes defined activities for all levels of the organization, a training plan to prepare everyone for involvement and a measurement system to track the results. This new process will be piloted at 3 different plants that include Bessie, OK, Boulder, CO and Carson City, NV in late July and early August. The goal is to gauge effectiveness and get feedback for improvement prior to implementation in all locations.

Over a week’s time, 19 tons, or seven Ford F350 trucks! Impressive, but the Checkoff is also looking for ways to lighten the load. A combination of lighter, easier-to-maneuver CMUs and technologies like exoskeletons are helping to improve morale, safety and efficiency of our valued workforce.
