It's no secret there is a labor shortage problem in manufacturing, with many more jobs available today than people to fill those jobs, and a growing chasm between people entering the industry versus those leaving.

Lurking in that labor challenge is maybe the biggest threat - a "great retirement" where the biggest threat is older, more experienced workers retiring and taking with them a career's worth of skills, experience, and best practices. In the race to close that gap, technology can play a crucial role in mitigating the manufacturing "brain drain" by automating repetitive tasks, preserving institutional knowledge through digital documentation, enabling remote collaboration, and enhancing training with virtual simulations.

In this podcast, Anthony Offredi - director of Customer Advocacy at Quickbase and a veteran of the manufacturing world - will discuss this brand drain and highlight technology solutions that can help combat this growing challenge, helping to attract and retain talent by capturing that knowledge while making work more engaging, efficient, and adaptable to new challenges in the industry.
