Since the pandemic, the day-to-day reality of managing a frontline workforce has become more fragile. Across sectors, the staffing models that got us through the worst of COVID are cracking as attrition rises and supervisor capacity thins.

In this reality, HR leaders are wrestling with questions like:

How do we create a consistent frontline experience across supervisors, shifts, and locations—so trust doesn’t depend on who someone reports to?
Where does our employee value proposition (EVP) break down for frontline workers—and what should we fix first to reduce early-exit churn?
Which metrics matter beyond headcount so we can spot instability early—before it shows up as turnover?

Join us to explore these questions and more in this peer-driven virtual exchange led by Steve Pemberton, Managing Director and former CHRO. This gathering will be an opportunity to share where current frontline strategies are falling short and pressure test new approaches for building long-term stability.

Why the Current Landscape Demands Action

Manufacturing is gearing up for its next major expansion in 2026. Billions are flowing into new facilities, automation, and capacity — but CHROs see the warning lights flashing long before the rest of the C-suite.

The workforce needed to power manufacturing growth is nowhere near ready.

Beyond developing talent pipelines and improving retention efforts, there are a number of factors straining the industry's ability to meet growth opportunities.

Wage expectations are escalating faster than budgets
Frontline skills are shifting faster than training can keep up with
Internal resistance to new labor models is slowing progress

Increased demand, infrastructure investment, and revolutionary technology are all exciting, but without the people to do the work, projected growth is nothing more than numbers on a screen.
