HR pros in the manufacturing industry can attract and retain talent by measuring and delivering data that backs up HR’s effectiveness. Joanne Taylor, Vice President of Operations for Clear Employer Services, tells us that we need to hire not just for what we need today but for where we need to be in five or ten years. “Look at the data and the projections from a sales and marketing and business strategy and how does that shape the future of the skills that we're going to need in five years? That's where HR becomes the strategic partner that we really truly should be in an organization.”
