Eastern Switzerland: Discussion about shortage of skilled workers in the industry
The OFFA Trade Day is a meeting place for trade and politics in the St.Gallen-Lake Constance region. As part of the OFFA spring trade fair, representatives of Eastern Switzerland's trade and industry will discuss and speak on the highly topical subject of "Shortage of skilled workers in trade and industry - how to find and retain workers" on Thursday, April 20, 2023.
After the successful premiere at OFFA 2022, which was sold out with around 250 participants, an OFFA Business Day will also be held this year. The event is a meeting place for business representatives, founders, owners and managers from the greater St.Gallen area. Here they are given space for exchange as well as suggestions on challenges in the commercial environment.
Shortage of skilled workers in the trade
The shortage of skilled workers in the industry continues to advance. Eliane Frei, owner of Freiraum Personal- & Organisationsentwicklung, will talk about the strategies that can be used to counter this development in her presentation "Mindset as a success factor - moving away from shortages to resources". This will be followed by a discussion on the topic with Markus Fust, Managing Director of Schreinerei Fust, Luzi Thomann, CEO of Thomann Nutzfahrzeuge, and Fabian Füger, owner and Managing Director of Bäckerei Füger Handmade. The afternoon will be moderated by Christoph Lanter.
