In medical technology manufacturing, the cost of recruiting and training a senior executive is in excess of $50,000. Retaining these employees in a tight job market is critical. One effective strategy for attracting and retaining quality employees in medical technology manufacturing is the adoption of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. In a comprehensive study of 369 executive-level medical technology manufacturers, more than two-thirds (68%) said that the use of an effective ERP software program results in improved job satisfaction ratings and increased employee retention (see Figure 1).
