There is no way around it, COVID-19 has presented a host of challenges and economic hardships over the last 6 months for not only consumers and businesses around the world but for the manufacturing industry itself. Many manufacturers have seen quite an unprecedented year that has been full of transitions as they navigate through rebuilding their businesses and workforces. Additionally, we have seen unusual supply chain disruptions to world trade, millions of people are using new technology as they work remotely leading to an increase in cybersecurity threats, and workers are now performing jobs that require new skill sets. Safeguarding business and workforce health has become not only a priority but a necessity.
Transitioning through these challenges requires us to come together as an industry, share best practices and help each other out to create hope. Together industry can overcome the difficult business challenges that many are facing and we would like you to join us as we come together for the 6th Annual Peak Performance Symposium to do just that.

The Talent You Seek is Already Within Your Community and Your Facilities, Why Can’t You Find it?, presented by YouScience. In WWII, aptitudes were used as a means to quickly identify workers capable of producing planes, ammunition, etc. This workforce was made up mainly of women, young adults and those who could not fight in the war. What if there was a way to use aptitudes to better identify the talent in your community, and find those persons who had the ability to do the jobs you need filled? Learn how YouScience is making that possible, and hear how manufacturers are using these data-based measures of ability to identify local and internal talent.
YouScience's patent pending algorithm combines aptitudes interests in 21st-century careers to make the highest quality career and educational recommendations.
Concluding our session will be our panel discussion. The panel discussion is always a crowd pleaser at this event and will focus on Operating a Healthy Business During a Pandemic. An infectious disease could be the single greatest threat to business continuity, as we have seen firsthand through the COVID-19 pandemic.
