Addressing the Packaging Industry Labor Shortage
As automation, predictive analytics packaging, and packaging machinery optimization become central to operational performance, the demand for highly skilled professionals continues to rise. However, talent gaps across engineering, supply chain, sustainability, and digital leadership roles are creating strategic risks.
“The future of packaging depends on proactive workforce planning and executive-level commitment to talent development,” the article emphasizes. “Organizations that invest early in leadership pipelines will outperform competitors navigating reactive hiring cycles.”
The guide highlights how companies can integrate executive succession planning with investments in bioplastic packaging development, sustainable packaging certifications, and packaging industry digital transformation initiatives.
