Manufacturing is regaining strength, but labor shortages are mounting. While there were workforce challenges prior to the pandemic, the issue has reached a critical point both with Boomers retiring in 2020 and simply the lack of available talent.
A recent study by the Global Supply Chain Institute at the University of Tennessee noted that many executives recognize the warning signs — 91% of CEOs identify a need to change their strategy for attracting and recruiting talent — however, more than 60% have not yet taken the first step toward actively working on it.
In this webinar:
Featuring NWIRC’s Susan Hileman, you will get best practices, opportunities, and resources to help companies like yours be proactive about finding and keeping employees for your business.
You will learn:
- Understanding Generational Impact. The key to developing a successful talent management plan is having a comprehensive understanding of the challenge employers are facing in the talent pipeline.
- Key Takeaways from a Recent Emsi Study: The Demographic Drought: How the Approaching Sansdemic Will Transform the Labor Market for the Rest of Our Lives.
- Retaining your Current Workforce. Improving retention and increasing productivity and profitability through upskilling, career readiness, and development of career pathways.
- Preparing for the Aging Workforce. Evaluating your current state, including calculating turnover, recruitment, and retention of mature workers; capitalizing on their knowledge; and preparing for the future.
- Strategies for Being the Business that Finds the Best Employees. Navigating regional workforce and economic development resources and the benefits of having a people-centric focus.
