Modern CPG companies face two major challenges: a shortage of skilled workers and increasing demand for technical skills driven by automation. Despite improvement from the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. manufacturing still had 523,000 job openings in July 2024.

A survey by PMMI Business Intelligence revealed that 72% of manufacturers struggle to attract and retain skilled workers. Automation requires more technically skilled roles, especially maintenance technicians. Connected workforce technologies, like IoT, AI, and augmented reality, offer solutions to bridge this skills gap and boost efficiency.

PMMI Media Group editors have compiled these findings into a comprehensive Connected Workforce report, designed to offer actionable solutions to address these critical challenges. Download the report and use it to start crafting your solution to these challenges.
