How to Attract Millennials to Solve the Skilled Workforce Shortage

摘要

It seems I touched a nerve with last month's column calling for manufacturing leaders to do their part to solve the skilled worker shortage by changing how they lead production staff-by treating them as professionals. If the response is any indication, you should know that this idea, while not new, is gaining widespread appeal and, with the millennial cohort coming aboard, increased urgency. The good news is: So few executives and managers understand the importance of this approach that, if you start now, you can gain a decided advantage over your competitors.
