AI is transforming manufacturing, but not for the people who actually do the work. Manufacturers are throwing tons of money at AI for automation, machinery, and supply chain optimization, but frontline workers (who make up 70% of the workforce) are being left behind with outdated, clunky tech (or none at all).
Chronic lateness may seem like a small problem, but it quickly adds up to lost productivity, lower sales, and frustrated teams. In fact, late arrivals cost U.S. businesses an estimated $61 billion every year. Rather than rushing to fire employees who struggle to show up on time, leaders should take a proactive approach to address lateness, understand the root cause, and create clear expectations around attendance.
