Mankato, MN -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/30/2015 -- Manufacturing CEOs face myriad staffing issues today: a lack of skilled workers, concern over succession planning, and "building a strong bench" so that the company can continue successfully when current management retires. Communicating about succession planning with employees encourages employee engagement according to Louise Dickmeyer, President of PDP Solutions.
Rolling Meadows, Illinois-based Metals Service Center Institute (MSCI), a metals industry trade association, saw a need for an executive education program specific to their industry that would raise up leaders and create Strategic Metals Management. M. Robert Weidner, III, MSCI president and CEO, has seen a wide swath of people and companies attend in past years, "To date more than 260 have graduated from the program and many have been promoted to senior leadership roles. The companies represented are a variety of mills and service centers, big and small, publicly-held and family-owned."
