In addition to industry and technology developments, one of the critical ingredients for business success is human resources—including the factory workers who create products globally. Workers have growing relevance in manufacturing sectors, where the labor force is younger, better informed, and savvy when it comes to the latest information technology. Managing and involving these workers presents both challenges and opportunities. Many companies have started programs to increase their understanding of workers’ needs and to give workers a voice in management solutions. Join us to learn from business leaders who are creating value by increasing the participation of workers in their operations and solutions.
