The manufacturing industry is seeing tremendous growth in the past few years, but they have to be ready for the future. Manufacturing leaders can ensure they’re well-positioned for the future by creating strategies that factor in the insights from their frontline workers to improve their organization in holistic, sustainable, and scalable ways.
Methodology
To gain a comprehensive understanding of the manufacturing industry's successes and challenges, we analyzed data from four key reports:
- 2023 Voice of the Essential Manufacturing Worker Report
- 2024 Voice of the Essential Manufacturing Worker Report
- 2023 Voice of the Manufacturing Manager Report
- 2024 Voice of the Manufacturing Manager Report
These reports provide valuable insights into the perspectives of both frontline workers and leadership across the manufacturing sector. By evaluating responses from 1,400 manufacturing leaders and 1,200 manufacturing workers, we were able to identify critical trends, challenges, and opportunities within the industry.
The surveys were conducted online via Pollfish using organic sampling. Learn more about the Pollfish methodology here.
