Re-Shoring American manufacturing isn’t just about factories—it’s about people. 💜
Re-shoring + revamping the US industrial base is being discussed more and more. There are many policy issues, but the biggest thing we need to invest in is people. Thankful to work everyday to solve these problems with great people at Traba
Becoming an employer of choice for Gen Z will be critical for the future of US manufacturing. It calls for a change in mindset, but one worth making for the lasting benefits it offers to those companies that get it right—and for the competitiveness of the US economy. Cultivating a new generation of the workforce could allow factories to create more prosperity for more people. It’s also more achievable than many leaders may think.

I have spent a lot of time collaborating with local industry, education and community stakeholders in Columbus Indiana focusing on careers in manufacturing. This type of work will never solve your immediate or short term staffing problem. However the work will focus your gaze outside the four walls of your organization. As one of my education partners likes to say, "you are planting a seed." That seed might be a future talent pipeline, it might influence curriculum and it might give you insight into your future #employeeexperience. In reality #futureofwork is already here. What are you doing to re-imagine the way work has always been done? Human Soul People and Process Partners

Last month we announced the #IndustryWeek Best Plants Award winners for 2024 and shared the story of winner Hoffer Plastics. This month IW's Jill Jusko tells the story of Hindlepower, Inc., an Easton, #Pennsylvania family-led #manufacturer that emphasizes employee education and personal growth as cornerstones of company success. "We like to put people in places of opportunity to see if they can grow, and most of the time they do. Most of the time they take it and they run, and they run really far with it." https://lnkd.in/eQAAwSyx #IWBestPlants #operationalexcellence #continuousimprovement #leadership #bestpractices IndustryWeek #employeeengagement

Attracting top manufacturing talent is going to start to be much harder. This article is an interesting read in this regard.
Great employees aren't just found they are built! Putting the right processes in place, creating consistency, all that good stuff builds structure. BUT you can’t have a strong company with great structure without great people, and great people don’t just show up fully formed, ready to be perfect for your business. #proaccel #constructionconsulting #constructionoperations #constructiontraining

Great employees aren't just found they are built! Putting the right processes in place, creating consistency, all that good stuff builds structure. BUT you can’t have a strong company with great structure without great people, and great people don’t just show up fully formed, ready to be perfect for your business. A truly great employee isn’t just “found”, they’re developed, nurtured, and challenged in the right ways. Expecting to hire someone off the street and assume they’ll fit seamlessly or bring all the right skills isn’t realistic. Greatness comes from having the tools and guidance to bring out their potential, which means investing in mentoring and development. So building process and structure is really important, remember that it’s really about how that structure supports people to grow and shine, not just follow rules. If you box in your best talent, their creativity, drive, and skills can and WILL get stunted. When you find the right balance, that’s where the magic happens. People who are developed, who have space to think and innovate, will become your highest performers. Ultimately, the backbone of a great company. So, yes, build structure. But don’t forget that structure should bring out the best in people, not turn them into robots. What would you add?? #proaccel #constructionoperations #constructionconsulting

Ever wondered why nearshoring is the next big trend in international trade? Companies are increasingly looking to relocate their manufacturing closer to home. This isn't just a buzzword—it's a smart strategy. Nearshoring reduces lead times, cuts transportation costs, and mitigates risks linked to geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions. But it's not all roses. It requires a nuanced understanding of cross-border regulations, labor dynamics, and local market conditions. The payoff? Increased efficiency, faster turnaround times, and stronger regional economic ties. What are your thoughts on this shift? Have you considered the potential benefits of nearshoring for your business? Let's discuss! #Nearshoring #InternationalTrade #SupplyChainManagement

The manufacturing industry is fiercely battling for talent - especially at the management level where a shortage of skilled leaders is only going to grow. Early retirement, increased foreign investments, and resorting efforts have escalated the cost of qualified candidates. Companies are facing a 20% premium on compensation or they risk losing valuable talent to counteroffers. To confront this head on - companies should focus on internal development, implementing robust training and succession plans to promote from within to help mitigate the challenges, save time and money.
