Talent Management Solutions for Manufacturing

Icons-for-vertical-pages

Facing roughly half a million open jobs, a staggering 77% of manufacturers in the United States expect current problems with talent acquisition and retention to continue into the future. To help close the skills gap, more than three-quarters of executives plan to increase their investments in Industry 4.0 technology. But more than 60% of manufacturing work activities worldwide can’t be automated, so don’t expect the robots and cobots to do it all. Human help is still needed at every job level. With the industry’s ever-shifting needs for hard skills, it’s imperative to find people who have the innate qualities to interact with the technology — today, tomorrow, and even 10 or 20 years from now.

How We Can Help

Diversity

Improve Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

Manufacturing lags other industries in DE&I. Women, for example, make up half of the overall workforce but only 30% of the manufacturing workforce and just 16% of corporate positions. Worse, one in four is considering leaving her job. Using personality in your talent strategies can help build and retain a diverse workforce, plus create lasting cultural change so employees are included and heard.

Soft skills are the pathway to filling future roles. In fact, adaptability is the quality your competitors most desire for their workforces.
