From Mailroom To Manager
Wayne Guiney started off in the mailroom 42 years ago. That humble beginning grew into a burgeoning career that has saved millions of dollars for several of Canada’s biggest in-plants.
Guiney wasn't looking to come in and bust the union by any stretch; he just wanted to make sure the in-plant was running efficiently. So he reduced the amount of outsourcing being done by introducing new technology. The workforce was reduced from 52 in 2003 to 44 at present.
At OPG Office Services, Guiney took his philosophy of creating the perfect mix of printing technology and skilled workers to its pinnacle. When he started, the shop still had duplicators and a Heidelberg perfector, but Guiney believed that the way to go was full digital. So in 2005 he oversaw a complete digital makeover using Xerox equipment. By 2008, that transition had saved the in-plant more than $3 million.
