Aptiv's recent move to lay off 200 employees in a single day is more than a headline; it's a harbinger of the systemic issues plaguing our industry. This isn't just a blip on the radar - it's the onset of a storm.
For years, I've voiced concerns that Shared Service Centers (SSCs) have become synonymous with cheap labor under the guise of efficiency. Our leadership, however, remains steadfast in old methodologies, overlooking the opportunity to elevate our value proposition. This approach is not just outdated; it's obsolete.
The countless times I've advocated for lean operations and the integration of automation were met with more than skepticism - they were met with outright dismissal. Now, as the consequences unfold, it's clear who understood the assignment and who didn't.
But here's the twist: the fallout doesn't stop with the decision-makers. It extends to every tier of the organization. Managers, especially those with the luxury of mobility, may move on without a backward glance. Yet, the local workforce is left to weather the storm, holding on with hopes pinned on a distant retirement.
It's a stark reminder that the decisions made today shape the legacy we leave for the next generation. As we navigate these turbulent waters, let's not forget the power of foresight, innovation, and genuine leadership. The future demands more than just survival; it calls for a revolution in how we value and invest in our people.
