Reframe the story around technology in manufacturing
The employee experience is relatively unknown—but before you communicate it, define it. Identify skill gaps in your company to help design roles of the future. Create a "north star" for your company’s own culture, and align employees to the greater mission of your company.
Define the employee experience
It's human to be afraid of the unknown: 57% didn't learn about manufacturing careers before they turned 18, and 63% don't have a close relative employed in the industry. Awareness is a key driver of interest and comfort in the industry. Reinforce and build new trade programs focused on using advanced manufacturing technologies. Become an integral part of the youth and educational community.
Educate young people, earlier
Young Minnesotans generally view manufacturers as tech-forward—the industry should home in on this perception and leverage it. Tell the story around how a digital shop floor is creating newer, safer, and more innovative career paths in the industry. Educate the market on automation's role in fueling, not hindering, long-term careers.
