  1. Addressing the growing needs for qualified manpowerA Manufacturing Perspective Cédric de Spéville Food & Allied Group www.food-allied.com

  2. The Context • How are we doing? • The case of the Food & Allied Group • Food for Thought

  3. 1. The Context (Increasing unit labour cost + Slower labour productivity gains) • Pressure on competitiveness (More pressure on norms + need for less variability in output) Need for cutting edge technology and Equipment Conclusion: no choice / “débrouillards” must become specialists

  4. 2. How are we doing? • Many manufacturers recruit expatriates as specialized workers: • 45% of companies for non-EOE sector • 80% of companies for EOE sector (source HRDC) • Top 2 reasons: • Lack of qualification and experience (mismatch) • Better productivity (lower adjusted cost) • Top one remedy: • Training • Soft Skills v/s Technical Skills

  5. 3. The Case of the Food & Allied Group • Shortage for certain functions, e.g. refrigeration and maintenance engineers • Technical / specialist jobs often viewed as stepping stones. But technical jobs are key and must be valued as such • Foreign Technical partners • Attract, Select, Train, Retain

  6. 4. Food for Thought • Favour proximity industry / academia. Speed of program adaptation is key • Develop soft skills • Facilitate imported expertise / transfert de savoir faire • Expatriates • Technical partnerships • Value technical jobs (ex pub)
