Tesla halted production at its Austin factory for a week to conduct intensive employee training sessions, amidst slowing sales and internal workforce concerns.
Employees were given the choice to take paid time off or participate in training and cleaning activities to enhance efficiency, safety, and workplace culture.
The training included opening culture-focused sessions to frontline employees, a departure from traditional management-only programs, aiming to address burnout, retention issues, and boost morale.
The initiative reflects Tesla's efforts to improve employee engagement, reinforce core values, and navigate market challenges by involving ground-level staff in shaping a more positive and resilient company culture.
