Develop the Future-Ready Organizational Blueprint You Need to Attract, Upskill & Engage Your Production Line Workforce & Drive Productivity, Performance & Growth
Chronic frontline vacancies. Supervisors promoted without support. Training that does not translate to productivity. These issues are now baked into the manufacturing industry.
LEAP HR: Manufacturing Total Workforce exists to help HR, Talent Acquisition, and Learning & Development leaders rebuild that system, so it delivers labor stability, capability, and growth at scale. This is not a conference about ideas, but about measurable takeaways.
Attendees leave with playbooks already proven to:
- Achieve 98% retention and save hundreds of thousands in replacement costs
- Reduce new hire turnover by 35% and save $250K annually
- Cut regrettable turnover by 50%, reduce time-to-fill by 25%, and improve quality of hire across 300+ annual roles
- Reduce time‑to‑fill critical roles by 50%
- Cut time-to-competency by up to 60%
- Reduced plant leadership turnover by 16%
Automation is accelerating. Skilled trades shortages are compounding. Retirement cliffs are approaching faster than leadership pipelines are being rebuilt. Doing nothing is not neutral. It is a decision to absorb higher downtime, safety risk, overtime costs, and missed production targets. Most organizations are already paying this price. The question is whether you intend to keep paying it.
If you are accountable for workforce performance in manufacturing, this is not just professional development. It is risk management.
LEAP HR: Manufacturing Total Workforce unites leaders who know TA is a strategic engine, not just a service. I’m excited to join peers challenging legacy models, building scalable systems, and proving recruiting drives real operational impact.
