As I mentioned in a previous article, The Generational Dilemma in the Manufacturing Workforce, there is a crisis in the manufacturing world that has to be addressed: The conflict between the generations. On one side, you have senior management, who tend to be older and near retirement. On the other side, the younger workforce coming up the ranks.
The country is getting back to work, and that includes manufacturing plants, warehouses, office complexes, shopping centers, and other facilities. With the ongoing pandemic, this is proving challenging in more ways than one. And we’re hearing from many Envision Environmental clients about a specific concern: keeping up with training as their workforce returns.
There is a crisis in manufacturing that has been slowly but surely coming to a head… with the pace quickening the last few years, especially now with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our workforce. Its impact will be felt for years to come.
If you’re looking to buy a building or property to open a new facility or expand your existing operations, you have to keep in mind more than just the price. And that’s especially true if you’re looking at former or current manufacturing sites, warehouses, or other commercial/industrial properties.
