On January 13, renowned journalist Forrest Sawyer will moderate a ProMat show keynote entitled ‘building the workforce of the future’.
Sawyer will address how the world’s labor force is changing. He will outline the impact of baby boomer retirement, which will set the stage for major shifts in workplace demographics including a declining working population through 2025. The implications for manufacturing and the supply chain are far-reaching.
Even if you have never used the term ‘disruptive demographics’ you will soon be living it.
Baby boomers are beginning to retire, setting the stage for major shifts in workplace demographics including a declining working population through 2025. Skill sets are rapidly changing. Life/work balance is taking on new meaning. And there is often a huge disconnect between people already in the workforce and those just entering it. That is disruptive demographics.
Will the next generation be ready to step into their roles? How will these roles change? The implications for manufacturing and the supply chain are widespread.
Get an in-depth look at these changes and how companies like yours can prepare for them during this important session including:
– How worker shortages in key areas such as manufacturing, engineering and distribution will impact your bottom line.
– How to attract and retain the next generation of workers who have different motivations and reward structures.
– How to adapt to take advantage of new competitive opportunities created by the aging workforce and disruptive demographics.
The ProMat keynote will consist of a panel of four experts at the forefront of this important issue and moderated by renowned business journalist Forrest Sawyer.
They will provide real-world perspective, detail how the workforce is changing and offer practical ideas that will help you adapt to this change as you build your workforce of the future.
