Accommodating the Non-Traditional Manufacturing Worker Focus groups look at how manufacturers can accommodate the non-traditional manufacturing worker such as women, disabled-workers, and Spanish speaking workers. These focus groups will also look at recruiting, onboarding, and retention for these non-traditional groups.
The Future of Manufacturing, Distribution, & Logistics Today's manufacturing and distribution businesses need flexibility to respond to changing labor demands. This session will present the 'Labor Pool' model which allows businesses to 'variablize' labor costs in small increments. This lets them increase costs only as their output increase, which empowers businesses to scale while maintaining a lower and more constant cost structure.
Business Leaders' Guide to Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion While organizations are developing diversity and inclusion initiatives at different paces, it is clear that these initiatives are increasingly becoming embedded into organizations as a core business goal. Securing and retaining talent becomes more challenging in a tight labor market and organizations are striving to cultivate innovation through building a more diverse workforce.

Strategies to Enhance Your Talent and Capabilitites To combat the tight labor market, successful manufacturers will become creative in the opportunities and messages they present to current and potential employees. Emphasizing the ways in which workers can grow and flourish, including micro-credentialing, earn-and-learn programs, and opportunities to earn credentials will help create retention and loyalty among existing and new employees.
