Preventing Employee Turnover in Manufacturing: Key Strategies and Insights

On February 27, 2026, an online seminar will be held to address the pressing issue of employee turnover among blue-collar workers in the manufacturing sector. Co-hosted by Brain Lab, a company known for its innovative HR marketing tools, and Fuji Arte, a prominent player in the comprehensive staffing and outsourcing industry, this seminar is set to provide crucial insights for enhancing employee retention.

Overview of the Seminar

Employee retention is directly linked to productivity and product quality, making it a vital management challenge in manufacturing. Many workplaces experience unexpected resignations, often without prior warning, due to undetected signals of employee distress or “silent turnover.” This seminar will feature expertise from both companies, combining over 60 years of experience in the manufacturing industry and over 20 years in HR-related digital transformation support.

Key Learning Objectives

Participants will gain actionable knowledge centered around three main points:

1. Detecting Signs of Sudden Resignation
- Resignations rarely happen without warning. The seminar will help attendees recognize the subtle signs and “invisible SOS” that can indicate an increased risk of turnover. Strategies will be shared to help identify these warning signals early.

2. Communication Techniques from Industrial Counselors
- Learn effective 1-on-1 communication methods to draw out the honest opinions of younger employees and foreign workers. Practical follow-up techniques that can be employed by both HR and field managers will be presented.

3. Implementing a Retention Support Cycle Across Organizations
- Discover how to create a comprehensive system for monitoring and managing turnover risks, eliminating reliance on individual accountability. This section will outline operational models that foster environments where employees thrive and remain committed.
