It’s pretty simple. The happier your workers are in their roles, the more likely they are to stay with your company. Figuring out a way to make that happen however, is anything but simple.

It’s no secret that manufacturers across northwest Ohio and southeastern Michigan are struggling with workforce issues, as are manufacturers across the country. Industry watchers say one of the key problems is that not enough young people are pursuing careers in manufacturing. The dilemma makes recruiting and training efforts even more critical for manufacturing businesses in the attempt to bring in and keep good people.

And then there’s the employee engagement piece.  So, how exactly do you engage your employees? That’s the topic of an upcoming Gilmore Jasion Mahler Manufacturing and Distribution Financial Executive Roundtable.

“Your Not-so-Secret Weapon for Employee Engagement” is a panel discussion that offers a vehicle for engaging, empowering and connecting with your workers. It is scheduled for Thursday, August 11 from 2-5 pm at the Pinnacle, 1772 Indian Wood Circle in Maumee. A second event featuring a panel discussion will be held Wednesday, August 17 from 11:30 am-1:00 pm at the Findlay Country Club, 1500 Country Club Drive, Findlay. Details to come on our featured panel members.

The Gilmore Jasion Mahler Manufacturing & Distribution Financial Executive Roundtable Series was established by our Manufacturing Specialist Team when area manufacturers expressed frustrations with the fact that they had no venue to come together and share struggles, best practices and victories.  The events are held three times a year for financial decision makers within manufacturing businesses. Manufacturing executives can RSVP for either event at info@gjmltd.com or by calling 419-794-2000.
