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 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. This webinar, featuring NWIRC’s Susan Hileman, is loaded with information, best practices, opportunities, and resources to help companies be proactive about finding and keeping employees for your business.  Setting the Stage:
