WE WANT TO LEARN IF SUPPLIERS ARE NOW IN DIRECT COMPETITION
FOR THE SAME WORKFORCE. THEY FACE MANY OF THE SAME
WORKFORCE NEEDS BUT THEY ALSO DON’T HAVE THE
LABOR POWER MIGHT OF A STRONG AUTOMAKER IN A MARKET.

The industry needs a handle on what is required and what is needed so we can work with the education system and training providers to assist in supplying the workforce.

We are just starting the interview phase. It is a roll up to a much larger study that is being done by a consortium, which will come out in spring 2011.

The second study, set to be released by the end of the year, deals with basics. This study focuses more on the entire workforce spectrum, from production to skill trades to engineering and technical.

We want to determine: So, after shedding the hourly and salary workforce in large numbers in the last couple of years, are there now holes that need to be filled and how will they be filled.

For example, what people are left? How did you
replace them? What does the attrition rate look like?
What do the demographics of the workforce look like?
Also, what jobs are becoming more important, where
you need more staff and where you are having a difficult
time finding those people? And what jobs are becoming
obsolete, where you are winding people down?

GCX: In regard to suppliers, what are you learning about their workforces?

Dziczek: The suppliers are part of both studies and we want to learn if they are now in direct competition for the same workforce. They face many of the same workforce needs but they also don’t have the labor power might of a strong automaker in a market.

And no matter which companies you are talking about,
