When you think of advanced manufacturing, you think of technology and smart machines. However, the key ingredient of advanced manufacturing is people, and manufacturing desperately needs more of them.

A recent MAGNET survey found that a critical shortage of skilled workers is the primary impediment to growth for manufacturing companies. Skilled workers are going to become even more in demand as America’s manufacturing industry is projected to have 2.4 million unfilled positions over the next eight years.

What is a growth-focused manufacturer to do?

In order to compete globally (and win), you need the right people, with the right skills, in the right jobs. Join us to discover practical and innovative ways to help your company close the talent gap and start building your workforce of tomorrow, today.

This webinar will cover:

• How to be as innovative with recruiting as you are with your products and services.
• Smashing stereotypes to help attract next generation talent.
• How Innovation and Industry 4.0 can help attract talent.
• Recruiting diverse workers and building new on-ramps for overlooked talent.
• Leveraging industry, education and community partnerships to solve talent problems together.
• Creating successful German-style apprenticeship programs to attract students early to a manufacturing career.
• How to grow your own talent and stay ahead of the rapidly decreasing half-life of knowledge.
• Building people-first workplace cultures.

This webinar will review the facts, legal aspects and the many employment considerations that surround the potential of employee exposure to the coronavirus. It will cover two important areas of information for employers. First, Dr. Rachel Levine, Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Health will explain the facts about coronavirus and how realistic it is that the United States, and Pennsylvania, could have a pandemic, as well as how the state is preparing.  Then top employment law attorney Jonathan Segal, Partner of Duane Morris will present the legal perspective on what employers need to do to prepare, and if different rules apply to employment laws should a pandemic occur.

They will discuss:

• The facts: the symptoms of coronavirus, how is it spread, what healthy habits employers should be advising their employees to follow, how Pennsylvania is preparing should a statewide epidemic be announced
• What employers should be doing now to prepare and to protect their employees—travel restrictions; if schools close and employees have child care issues and cannot get to work, more
• Actions employers should take if an official pandemic is announced—telecommuting options, procedures for employees working from home, more.
• Employment laws that may be modified if an official pandemic is announced—employers still need to comply, but modifications and new rules may apply to the Family Medical Leave Act, ADA and other laws during a pandemic
• Best Practices employers need to follow to prepare and to protect their workers

Additionally, those seeking current information on the coronavirus can get it through the CDC’s website https://www.cdc.gov/. UPMC professionals have advised this is the most accurate and up-to-date information on the virus.

Every 39 seconds!

On average, there is a cyberattack every 39 seconds. That’s 2,244 attacks a day. The effects of which can either bring a company down or bring them together to become stronger than ever.

Pilz was hit with a ransomware cyberattack on October 13, 2019. Pilz chose not to comply with the attacker’s demands because doing so would have rewarded their efforts and financed additional attacks on others. More importantly, Pilz chose to stand strong to guarantee their data and the data of their customers wasn’t further compromised, potentially leaving them vulnerable to future attacks.

Learn how Pilz not only survived the attack, but is coming back stronger than ever. Learn what you can do to help make your company stronger in any crisis.

Materials and examples presented on:

• The role of corporate culture
• Communication – who, what, when and why
• Gaining customer and supplier support
• Encouraging and fostering a creative atmosphere among employees
• Turning a negative into a positive

You know safety and health requirements for your workplace.  You know how to keep your employees safe.  But do you know what happens when OSHA knocks and demands to investigate your workplace for alleged OSHA infractions?  Do you know what OSHA can and can’t do, what your rights are, and what happens if OSHA issues you citations?  As safety professionals, you have probably heard a lot about OSHA inspections and the litigation process from colleagues, from newspapers, and maybe even from OSHA.  But in this era of “fake news,” is what you’ve heard true, or is it myth?

This webinar will explore the 10 biggest and most common myths surrounding the OSHA investigation and litigation process so that if OSHA knocks, you know what to do.
