One System that ENDS Costly Shop-Floor Turnover for Manufacturers
Cut employee turnover, upskill supervisors, and improve on-time delivery, equipment effectiveness, and product quality with one system built for manufacturers with 5 to 500 employees
The Cost of People Problems in Manufacturing
Manufacturers lose money when shop floor employees leave. A 1% turnover on the shopfloor costs $25,000 to $50,000 per year. Reducing your shop floor turnover by 10% adds $250,000 to $500,000 to your profit.
The Impact of Turnover on SMB Manufacturers
Leaders spend time firefighting vs investing in growth of their people and the business.

Founder’s Note
When I led a manufacturing company, I learned the greatest barrier to growth wasn’t strategy – it was people. Turnover, open positions, and skill gaps stalled progress, even as demand grew.
The breakthrough came when we equipped every leader and supervisor to invest in and care for their shop floor teams – the most critical people in the business. The results were transformational: turnover cut in half, positions filled, and a high-performance team that fueled growth from $5M to $30M in just 4.5 years.
That experience led to MyTalentPlanner. We built the Growth Accelerator System to help SMB manufacturers overcome people challenges and unlock the true growth potential of their people and business. Welcome to MyTalentPlanner – Those Who Talent Plan – Profit!

Accelerator System can help you.
MyTalentPlanner helps SMB manufacturers cut shop floor turnover, fill skill set gaps and increase output by investing in and caring for each team member – from the leadership team to the shop floor. It automates 1:1 meetings with AI notetaking and summaries so supervisors can focus on developing each team member. It helps execute their people strategy with the same discipline they apply to production and operations. It gives leaders the tools to align roles, set clear expectations, develop employees, and track progress — resulting in higher productivity, lower turnover, and a cohesive team.
Every single employee has a “MyPlan” section that includes their 1:1 meetings, development plan, performance plan and behavioral science assessments. It is a simple, personalized development plan that develops the total person. It ensures every team member has clarity of their key accountabilities, career and growth plan. For crews, this builds clarity, trust and consistent opportunity for two-way communication with their supervisor.
HRIS systems manage payroll, employee data, and benefits. MyTalentPlanner is unique because it focuses on the people side/strategic HR and includes the strategy, talent, execution, behavioral science and AI all with one login. As an operating and talent system, MyTalentPlanner complements your HRIS.
No. Shop-floor workers don’t need individual devices. Leaders and supervisors can use MyTalentPlanner as they work directly with each team member in their 1:1 meetings to create, manage and update their development and performance plans. A company can have all employees on the platform so everyone can manage their own MyPlan or just their leaders/managers/supervisors.
DISC helps both supervisors and employees understand their natural communication styles—whether they tend to be more decisive, outgoing, steady, or analytical. A supervisor who recognizes these differences can adapt their approach, giving concise direction to one employee while offering more encouragement and context to another. Behavioral science enables honest, open and transparent (HOT) conversations in your 1:1 meetings that lead to breakthroughs in their work and life. This does not just improve the quality of 1:1s; it also reduces day-to-day misunderstandings and improves communication on the floor.
Most manufacturers begin to see measurable improvements within the first 60 days as role clarity, 1:1 meetings, and employee development practices take hold. Over 6–12 months, companies typically see sustained gains in OTD, OEE, reduced scrap, and higher throughput as well as cut shopfloor turnover by over 50%.
Yes. Turnover is often caused by poor communication, lack of role clarity, limited growth opportunities and just the feeling of not being heard. MyTalentPlanner addresses all of these — giving employees a clear path, regular feedback, and visible investment in their success.
We track improvements in both people and production outcomes, including:
- Company Employee retention
- Shop floor retention
- Leader effectiveness (1:1 meetings, development plans)
- Employee engagement scores
- On-Time Delivery (OTD)
- Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
- Scrap and productivity rates
Yes. MyTalentPlanner can integrate with most ERP, HRIS, and time/attendance systems to streamline data flow, reduce manual entry and have a complete Operating and Talent System.
