Why are manufacturing organizations struggling to recruit and retain great people? Let's find out together! Manufacturing Greatness is launching a major research project on the state of manufacturing in North America. We're partnering with Crossover Solutions and the Center for Generational Kinetics to survey 1,250 people across Canada and the United States. This survey will focus on people who currently work in manufacturing or a similar industry, like logistics, industry, or construction.  Through this project, our goal is get real data about what's really happening in manufacturing and adjacent industries.  As we finalize the survey, I'd love your input. What's one question you'd like to see included in the survey? What questions do you have about how to improve retention and engagement in manufacturing and similar industries?
