For over 60 years, Motor Products Corporation has supplied fractional horsepower DC motors to original equipment manufacturers in a myriad of industries. And interestingly enough, it has employees who are experiencing between 20 and 40 plus years of employment. The company, a small town employer where many are related and nothing changes, was sold to a public company where change is survival. The transformation and the new changes practically paralyzed the morale of the plant workers.
The services of team training came at the beginning of the change era. In conjunction with personnel development, Motor Products implemented new product designs and aggressive changes with the built processing. The staff development factor launched the essential functions to make the process more tolerable and successful.
"Many companies talk about how important their people are comparative to the success or failure of their organization; but their investment in their people doesn’t normally correspond with their easy statements. They will invest hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars in capital equipment and tooling and paint and facilities and invest very little if anything in equipment, tools or time in their people. With PDP and Don Crosby, the investment isn't nearly as significant in terms of capital required to have an equal to or much greater return than a similar investment in the equipment.”
