About Future Connect
Success in any business depends upon quality personnel, but retirement-age Baby Boomers, declining birthrates and recruiting difficulties are leading to the greatest workforce crisis the food industry has ever faced. Higher-than-average employee turnover, changing consumer habits and an uncertain global economy have created unprecedented challenges for industry retailers, wholesalers and suppliers.
Future Connect® is the new leadership development conference created by the Food Marketing Institute to help the food industry address the coming management talent gap. Future Connect® will:
- Energize the high-potential associates in your organization by providing them with a mix of job skills and industry knowledge to light the spark of continued interest and involvement in the food industry.
- Improve management skills of associates at all levels of your company. Help existing managers gain skills that will enable them to hire better and retain a higher percentage of workers by understanding the complexities of today's workforce.
- Network with industry colleagues to create a foundation of trading partner relations and understanding essential to the future success of retailers and suppliers.
