6 Ways to Drive Your Postpress Company to Greater Profits
6. The more you know…
Even in difficult economic times, education should remain high on your priority list. Brainpower is a critical resource to staying competitive and profitable.
Continued education is one method to keep employees motivated and satisfied with their job. Most of the time it is cheaper to retrain an existing employee than it is to train a new one. And considering the hiring challenges within our industry—bindery operators are one of the top three hardest positions to fill, according to PIA’s recent ad hoc HR Trends survey (Jim Kyger, “Graying, Recruiting, and Meeting Your Customers’ Demands,” The Magazine, August, 2015, 66-67)—you want to encourage your staff to stay up to date on technologies and strategies.
For resources, you’ll find valuable postpress titles offered through the PIA Bookstore. BIA members receive discounts on publications as well as learning and networking events throughout the year.
