These days, he owns the place.<\/p>\n<p>But this isn\u2019t another story of a son taking over the family business and figuring out his way around. Instead, Brian and his father, Dave, set out on a multi-year succession plan, with Dave handing over more and more of the responsibility, providing advice and mentoring along the way. The transition was so successful that Brian has implemented succession planning throughout Gorbel.<\/p>\n<p>Identifying talent\u2014and readying for the surge of Baby Boomer retirements\u2014is imperative for survival.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe impending wave of retiring Baby Boomers affects the workplace and supply chain far greater than most anticipate, which is and will continue to leave significant gaps in the workforce,\u201d said Andy Recard, president at MHI member TZA.<\/p>\n<p>Recard points to U.S. Labor Department statistics that show 60 million Baby Boomers leaving the workforce by 2025\u2014with only 40 million entering. \u201cThe supply chain industry is expanding faster than workers are becoming qualified, and qualifications for those careers are becoming more dynamic,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd let\u2019s not forget that there\u2019s this perception that supply chain jobs lack excitement. Couple that with companies who may not be properly feeding their future talent pipeline. This all results in a growing global talent shortage crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And that shortage meets increasing demand for workers in the supply chain. \u201cThat\u2019s prevalent throughout all the modals,\u201d said Timothy McNamara, managing partner, Odgers Berndtson, LLC. \u201cRail is probably doing a better job than the rest, but they have large workforces that are graying with America. They have huge issues to address.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One key to that shortage is to appeal to millennials\u2014those born between 1981 and 1997. In 2015, this group became the largest in the workforce\u2014and will account for 75 percent of workers in a decade. While this generation has gotten a bad rap\u2014especially for their willingness to move around\u2014they demand a clear career path. Manpower Group advises employers to demonstrate the ways that longevity with the company leads to advancement and to have regular conversations about career path.<\/p>\n<p>No matter the age range, though, carefully crafted succession planning just makes good sense.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nxtbook.com\/naylor\/MHIQ\/MHIQ0218\/index.php#\/66\"><strong>Read More\u2026.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Succession planning and identifying talent are imperative for survival , now that the impending surge of Baby Boomer retirements is almost upon us.
