Why You Should Avoid Panel Shops Suffering From the “Great Resignation”

More than 38 million Americans voluntarily left their jobs in 2021—more than 30 percent of the total non-farm workforce. And with resignation rates highest among mid-level employees, businesses focused on consumer goods and services could be facing quality control issues as more junior staff pick up the slack. 

When it comes to control panel building, experience matters. There is no “one size fits all” when it comes to building a panel to serve your business needs. You want to hire someone for this job who’s done it more than once, preferably at least a few hundred times. 

At UCEC, we build control panels to most efficiently serve the needs of our customers. That means every control panel we build is different from the last whether we case it in stainless steel to withstand the rigors of a pharmaceutical environment or we custom build a panel with multiple motor controls and relays to perform complex conveying functions. 

With workers across sectors resigning and a lot of experienced people calling it quits, you should add questions about experience to your list when vetting a potential panel shop to ensure you’ll get a panel that meets your needs. 

At UCEC, our operations and management team averages 20+ years of experience. We’re the staff who reviews your panel plan to make sure it’s going to work optimally in your space and environment. We’re your partners in making sure you get the right panel on time, every time. And we’re proud to report our retention rates have remained unchanged during the “Great Recession” so we’re still able to provide you with the same experienced craftsmen to build your panel. 

In this continued time of uncertainty, go with a trusted partner who knows how to make control panels for any industry,  adopts new technology for increased efficiency, and can adeptly navigate emerging challenges like the supply chain disruption.
