Webinars are helpful. Talking with peers is vital. We’ve designed a unique opportunity to share with peers the tips and strategies that guide you and your company.

October 27 Session: Grow, Groom, and Nurture Your Team

The struggle to find and retain a skilled workforce is real for some manufacturers – but not all.  As you think about those companies who are recruiting new talent and do not face high turnover, what are they doing well that you can adapt to your company?

Manufacturing leaders are invited to share strategies for building and keeping a strong team.  How are you incorporating employee engagement surveys, apprenticeship programs, onboarding and/or stay surveys into your recruitment and retention plans?  This will be a dynamic conversation aimed at improving the reality of careers in manufacturing.

Facilitator: Amy Clary  |  Regional Manager, IMEC

What the Buzz Session Is: These invite-only interactive 60-90 minute sessions focus on critical topics in a small group peer setting. Manufacturing leaders sharing and learning from one another. Topics are based on leader priorities related to key drivers for global competitiveness. These are lightly facilitated conversations. The topic and your starting questions will be shared in advance of the roundtable. Active participation by all attendees will impact the vibrancy of the conversation.

What the Buzz Session Is Not: The Manufacturing Buzz Session is not a sit-back-and-listen presentation. And definitely not a sales pitch!

Who: Up to 10 manufacturing owners/senior leaders, plus an IMEC facilitator and note taker. Participation is exclusive to leaders from Illinois manufacturing companies.

Why: Ask for peer advice; share and learn best practices; network with other manufacturing leaders from across the state. And who knows, maybe you’ll form business opportunities together!

Where: Sessions are hosted on a virtual platform, with all participants using video.
