Our Latest Focus Group
HR Director Focus Group:
Shaping Workforce Solutions in Manufacturing & Engineering
Duration: 60 minutes
Limited to 5 HR Directors/Decision Managers for meaningful insight and discussion
Purpose of the June 2025 Focus Group
The workforce in Manufacturing and Engineering is more generationally diverse than ever — with Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z working side by side.
As we move through 2025, leadership, retention, and workplace culture must evolve to meet the expectations and behaviours of all generations.
This focus group brings together senior HR leaders to:
Pinpoint the most pressing multi-generational workforce challenges in the sector
Uncover where managers are struggling to lead across age groups — from communication to motivation
Share the support, tools, or “magic wand” solutions you believe would truly make a difference — especially for frontline and middle managers
