During the Aspen Ideas Festival, Ford CEO Jim Farley discussed the challenges young workers face, often taking second jobs just to get by. Learning from veteran employees, who noted the stress young workers were under due to low wages, Farley decided to follow in Henry Ford's footsteps by transforming temporary jobs into full-time positions. This change not only boosts employee morale but also aligns with long-standing practices aimed at establishing a sustainable, well-compensated workforce, reminiscent of wage increases that sparked American middle-class growth in the 20th century.
Farley recognized that young employees were struggling financially, prompting Ford to enact changes by converting temporary roles into full-time positions with better compensation.
Drawing on the legacy of Henry Ford, he emphasized raising wages to enhance employee satisfaction and attract younger workers to manufacturing jobs.
