How Businesses Can Advance Manufacturing's Future through Collaboration with Workers

Description
Right now, US manufacturers face real challenges meeting their workforce needs. But with innovations in how jobs are designed—such as involving workers in business decisions, implementing new employee supports and flexible work arrangements, and promoting employee ownership—businesses can attract and retain a new workforce, create high-quality jobs, and ensure longevity.
Join WorkRise for a virtual conversation to hear from business, research, and industry leaders about how businesses can achieve their goals through new ways of partnering with workers and designing jobs. The event will highlight a new WorkRise-funded report, Manufacturing Resilience through Partnership with Intermediaries, that examines, through case studies, how manufacturing employers across the country—with the help of intermediaries—centered worker collaboration and advanced core business goals in technological upgrading, business succession, and environmental sustainability. Attendees will also hear from employers advancing worker collaboration and job design at their businesses and from national manufacturing organizations trying to move the needle on what might be possible for the sector and for the future of its workers.
