[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP there is no room for promotion as it is hard to break the “on the clock” mentality.

For instance we have a few corporate events on the weekend or after work each year.

I noticed the on the clock people don’t go.[b] But it is only chance to interact with sr. Mgt. which would help their case for a promotion. [/b]

I have no clue how to make it a nicer place. They have tasks to do and a set time to do it. To be honest I would tell them to quit if I was giving career advice.

Well that's a pretty terrible work environment if the only way to interact with Sr Management is to go to an after-hours, not paid for event.  Why in the universe would they do that?  
You can make it a nicer place by getting all of their management - from you to the top - to treat them like valued employees, rather than being too high and mighty to even interact with them.
Do you not have (paid, on the clock) town halls? Skip level meetings? All hands? Departmental meetings?  [/quote]

OP said that the employees have set tasks and times to do them. Unless the company is willing to push less product out the door, your production employees are not attending skip level meetings and all hands in any meaningful way. [b]Maybe OP should encourage them to unionize?[/b]  [/quote]

Good idea!  Start a union, OP, or at least give them the tools to do so if they want to.
