What Productiv runs in Salt Lake City
The Salt Lake City team runs labor-intensive production and packaging work inside the client's facility: assembly and kitting, packaging and repack, and the material handling that keeps the line fed, to documented processes with quality checkpoints built into the work. Where a product is regulated, lot and batch control are part of the process.
Every operator is our own — recruited, trained, and managed by Productiv, not temp labor. Line leads, supervisors, and site managers average more than ten years of tenure, which is what keeps an embedded program stable while agency rosters around it turn over.
Why Wasatch Front manufacturers look past the agency model
Utah's tight labor market makes the agency model's weak points visible fast: crews that don't hold together, rates that climb at every renewal, and a markup on every hour — training hours, no-show overtime, the slow first week — none of it tied to output. For standing shifts and skilled roles, that is temporary pricing for permanent work.
An embedded team changes who owns the result. Productiv's supervisors run the floor, the crew is ours to recruit and retain, and pricing is per unit or against an agreed outcome, with process engineering and continuous improvement inside the price. We earn more only by running the line more efficiently. The turnover cost calculator puts your own agency numbers into that math in about two minutes.
