Bridging the Skills Gap: Employee Spotlight

When we hear the phrase “skills gap” what typically comes to mind? A lack of skilled professionals in the marketplace and a painful hiring process, right? However there’s another way to tackle the skills gap dilemma, and that is to look at both sides of the equation, and focus not just employee attraction but also on employee retention. It makes good sense to put energy into retaining employees to keep your valuable talent assets in place. Congratulating your employees by giving them a “moment in the spotlight” is a great way to maintain high morale and boost job enthusiasm. Recently we saw a great example of employee recognition that has the additional benefit of helping customers appreciate the company’s values and practices.

Employee Spotlight

Lyndex-Nikken is doing a series of videos called Employee Spotlight, where they feature individuals throughout the organization. The latest installment introduces Amira Alpuche, Service Specialist for Lyndex-Nikken. We see her at work collecting details about repair status, managing parts inventory, and responding quickly to customer inquiries. She also points out that she appreciates the company’s diverse culture, and how much it feels like family. Actually, each Employee Spotlight video mentions the family-style culture at the company, so it definitely sounds like a great place to work!
