Research Project Studies Attitude on Assembly Lines
ESPOO, Finland—A little positive feedback at work can go a long way toward improving assemblers’ long-term mental health and well-being. Engineers at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and the European Factory2Fit research consortium are studying the effects of work performance.
VTT is developing a “worker feedback dashboard” that is currently being piloted by employees at Stera Oy, a contract manufacturer based in Finland. Other manufacturers involved in the three-year project include Continental AG and United Technologies Corp.
