Manufacturing will be the focus of the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission’s “Business Walk” this week.
The in-person survey will look at the human resources needs of manufacturers in the region.
About 50 companies will be asked about their workforce issues during pre-scheduled interviews throughout the week. Subjects will include questions about specific jobs they have difficulty filling, succession planning and what assistance would help attract and retain the employees they need.
