Human factors – visibility, communication and recognition – are the biggest drivers of safety, productivity and retention in U.S. manufacturing.

Our survey of 400 manufacturing workers and leaders finds a strong safety focus on paper, but a persistent leader–employee perception gap: Leaders report more comfort and resources, while employees face fatigue, staffing pressure and unclear follow‑through that suppresses reporting and raises risk.

In our newest report, we uncover the human factors driving safety culture, reporting practices and work-floor productivity in manufacturing organizations across the U.S.:

  • 75% of workers say their workplace takes safety very seriously.
  • 70% of manufacturing workers say they’re open to a new role.
  • 52% prefer a company that cares about their wellbeing over a 10% raise.
