Wake Up Call

# 1 Threat To The Economy Lack of Skilled & Productive Workers Alan Greenspan

# 1 Threat To Your Organization Lack of Skilled & Productive Workers

America is facing the greatest labor & skills shortage in its history!

Hard Facts 10 million worker shortage in U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics A crisis in finding skilled labor. -National Association of Manufactures; Senator Tom Harken Health care providers & public schools are desperate for skilled labor~ -Getem While Theyre Hot Dr. Tony Zeiss

Hard Facts Baby boomers are retiring. Succeeding generations are smaller. Low or skilled jobs are becoming obsolete or moving offshore. Higher skilled jobs are replacing lower skilled jobs.

Hard Facts U. S. is losing manufacturing jobs. 80% of creativity & innovation. We must continue to be creative & innovative. Jobs of the Future require higher skills & knowledge.~

Good News Those organizations that prepare for the labor & skill shortage will do well! Discovering a reliable supply chain of skilled workers is critical (and can be done).

Good News Only 21% of jobs in America require bachelors or higher degrees. 75% of jobs in America require training beyond high school, but below 4 year degrees. Community Colleges are driving the economy (The best source of skilled employees).

Good News Partnering with Community Colleges pays BIG dividends. Attracting, developing & retaining peak performers is critical to success. Do you give as much attention to attracting great employees as you do purchasing a major piece of equipment?~

Good News Smart organizations are discovering how to: 1. Attract 2. Develop 3. Retain Peak Performers for future success!

Sources of New Workers Emerging Workers Recent high-school dropouts Chronically unemployed (often Illiterate) New high-school graduates Adults entering work for the first time Immigrants Disabled (entering work for the first time) Existing Workers Currently employed Currently underemployed

Employee Motivators Recognition A sense of belonging A sense of significance & personal growth Fair compensation tied to achievement & productivity~
