My conversation with Marianela Nanninga, CEO and founder of ToDo Robotics, explores the challenges of high turnover in jobs and industries, emphasizing the time and resources required for training new employees. It highlights the advantages of machines in maintaining consistent performance and quality, particularly in cleaning tasks, where machines do not miss spots and operate with uniform intensity.

Takeaways

• Jobs with high turnover require significant time for training.
• Machines provide consistent performance without variability.
• Quality of work from machines remains constant.
• Human workers may forget tasks or areas during work.
• Training does not guarantee that a person will perform well.
• Machines have precise tracking for cleaning tasks.
• The pressure and water usage in machines is uniform.
• Finding and training new employees is costly.
• Machines can clean areas thoroughly without missing spots.
• Consistency in performance is a key advantage of machines.
