Owners of job shop platers, anodizers and coaters need a sense of urgency in their shops to survive today’s economy

How can you survive the recession…and prosper?

A number of readers contacted me regarding my PCI article about Gainsharing, “Gild Your Bottom Line,” which appeared in March, 2007. They were interested in improving their productivity through Gainsharing, but were reluctant to try because they doubted whether such a program would have long-lasting effects on their multi-cultural workforces.

One reader asked “Is it a flash in the pan…how long can I expect higher employee productivity and better profitability as a result of the Gainsharing?” Another one e-mailed me, asking, “Is Gainsharing an event or a continuing process?” What are they talking about?
