Last week I attended a retirement party for two employees of an MPulse customer. After offering my congratulations (and admitting a little envy), I stopped to talk to Judy, who oversees the maintenance staff. Our conversation left me with the maintenance management task that every maintenance manager must add to their to do list.<\/p>\n

Judy looked a little melancholy for someone surrounded by that much cake. When I asked her why, she said: \u201cSteve, there\u2019s 62 years of experience walking out the door today. It\u2019s going to be hard to replace that kind of expertise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her comment struck a chord. There’s a lot of inherent knowledge in maintenance, and I bet your maintenance workers carry a lot of information in their heads. When they walk out the door, that experience goes with them.<\/p>\n

Everyone moves on at some point, and I don’t have to tell you that finding good maintenance employees<\/a> is challenging. That\u2019s why you need a succession plan.<\/p>\n
