Industry Spotlight; Industrial & Technical Sector Meets Star Wars
12 January 2018
From the Millennial Falcon to lightsabers, the saga has shed light on an industrial and technical euphoria that we can only dream of…
Star Wars has always been about people facing huge challenges and not being entirely sure how to overcome them. The adventure is figuring it out along the way, and The Last Jedi shows just how powerful having a solid set of core values to guide you can be.
Whether you feel the pull toward the Dark Side or the Light—or don’t really get the fuss about the Force to begin with — it’s hard to ignore the Star Wars mania that has engulfed imaginations far and wide.
With the above in mind, I didn’t just like The Last Jedi just because of all of the lightsaber battles and starfighter action that any die-hard fan could ask for, I think the movie offers important lessons for anyone looking to build a strong workplace culture.
We could bend reality and attempt all sorts of comparisons between the Industrial & Technical industry and Star wars, but let’s keep it simple…
Your competitor is the evil First Order (or Empire, if you’re thinking original Star Wars), controlled by villains who will stop at nothing to crush you. Your company is The Resistance, who, with a well-aimed (product) blast from an X-wing fighter can destroy your competitor’s Starkiller Base (or Death Star).
In order to survive as a business in the industrial sector, you need the ability to adapt and be creative with problem-solving just like The Resistance in Star Wars.
In the complex industrial sector (galaxy), the roles we recruit range from assembly and production line workers to factory managers, production planners and technical roles in research and development and even laboratory experts. Our candidates are experienced and ready to slot right into your business, or “Resistance”.
As a specialist in the industrial, manufacturing and technical sectors, we understand the demands of your business (both internal and external), its peaks and troughs, and the skill sets and experience you require new staff to have. Utilising our temporary workforce could make the difference in meeting your next deadline (battle), fulfilling that order or exceeding your customers’ expectations. As an experienced recruitment business, being able to react quickly and effectively to requests for staff is not only a requirement but our core strength, similar to using the “force”.
You can rely on HORNER to keep your business moving while allowing you to get back to doing your job (fighting storm troopers).
What’s more, we are able to find candidates to meet all your staffing needs, from temporary on-hired staff and contractual workers to permanent employees.
