Steve and Jordan talk with Russ Fadel about using technology to support the training needs and job requirements of shop floor production workers. Russ, CEO at Augmentr brings a different perspective to HR technology coming from a background developing production technology systems. Some things we cover:

+ Unique challenges affecting production workers and operations workforces

+ The value of having better data on production worker skills and capabilities

+ Production worker attitudes toward technology that monitors their productivity and safety

We also learn why Google glasses never became cool in the world of manufacturing and the “beers with my boss” strategy for talent advancement.
