How CEOS are tackling workforce shortages – webinar video

@AuManufacturing and Epicor’s online webinar is available to view online now discussing automation, smart data and workforce shortages.

Our panel discussion moderated by editor Peter Roberts heard from manufacturing CEOs and industry experts on their use of technology to make better use of the staff they have, and on recruitment and retention.

Joining the discussion were Greg O’Loan, the Regional Vice President of Epicor in Australia and New Zealand, Gavin Dunwoodie, Managing Director and Group CEO of Darra, Queensland manufacturer PFi, Richard Simpson, Managing Director at Furnace Engineering and Patrick Ferron, Financial Controller at Great Western Manufacturing.

Our discussion ranged widely including on recruiting tactics as well as retention through upskilling and training, new business models, and enthusing younger staff through more challenging work and employee share ownership schemes.

Also discussed was the nature of the post-covid workforce and a lack of engagement with full time work.
