For it's age this is a pretty good training video. It also stars Dennis Franz of NYPD Blue fame.
Sid is a supervisor at a plant with poor productivity ratings. He supervises the night shift who regularly is the least productive crew. He receives a visit from a business consultant who encourages him to start giving productivity scores to his employees.
Sid is resistant to the changes but when he notices improvements he develops his own style of improving productivity. He gives the crew an incentive to receive 100% efficiency- a loaf of pumpkin bread for each guy.
When the plan works, the company CEO tries to replicate the plan by giving employees a free $3 lunch for each week of 100% productivity. It fails miserably.
When the CEO and Sid get together to discuss why the plan failed they come to the realization that they need, what Sid calls, "planned spontaneous recognition."
What's great about this movie is how lifelike and realistic it is. Obviously Franz brings a lot of that to the production but it is truly a fun and entertaining story with some great moments. It remains an excellent coaching title, especially for blue collar employees.
