Aside from Recruitment Efforts, Programs to Retain Your New and Existing Employees Is Just as Critical

For most print providers, recruiting people to fill open positions, and retaining the skilled workers they have, ranks as one of the most difficult issues they face. They’re not alone; most manufacturing industries are encountering the same problem. Yet, the printing industry faces the added misconception that it’s a dying industry — which makes it even more difficult to attract younger workers or those from other fields weighing their career options.

Industry recruitment requires a boots on the ground, grassroots-level effort. It means getting involved with local schools and colleges, launching internship programs, and attending job fairs.
