In a manufacturing facility we manage risk around people, and people safety, food safety, customer relations, brand reputation, equipment life, and effectiveness, etc. Many people indirectly have risk management as part of their everyday job duties. No one likes to experience the worst-case scenario, so hopefully, we can put policies and procedures in place to prevent it from happening. But even if we don’t totally prevent it, maybe we can lessen the impact.

It's not too early to start planning for Manufacturing Month WA 2022! The manufacturing industry is having a particularly challenging time finding and retaining skilled workers. Global pandemic burnout and the Great Resignation have led to unprecedented employee turnover rates across the U.S. In this turbulent market landscape, attracting and retaining the right employees is more important than ever. Join Impact Washington in October and open your doors this MFG Month WA, showcase the potential of modern manufacturing, and foster interest in manufacturing careers at your facility.
