Securing the best talent in support of manufacturing has long been the lofty goal of industry stakeholders, but the challenges are compounding. Whether it's the “silver tsunami” of retirement, wage compression, skill shortages among incoming workers, demographic challenges or just lack of interest, the industry continues to battle the worker shortages that stand in the way of optimal growth.
Today we are joined by a dynamic panel of experts to discuss this very topic. First, we have Allison Grealis who is the founder and president of the Women in Manufacturing association, a global trade association with more than 35,000 members dedicated to supporting, promoting, and inspiring women in manufacturing.
In addition, we have Penelope Brown, who is the Senior Content Director for the Manufacturing Leadership Council which serves as the digital transformation division of the National Association of Manufacturers.
Finally, we are joined by John Marth, who is an industry advisor for Workday – a firm that is scaling the next era of enterprise productivity—moving beyond tools and into Agentic AI, where enterprise data meets autonomous action without sacrificing accuracy.
