How CRE leaders can help win the battle for frontline tech talent 

Driven by digital transformation and government investment, the booming tech manufacturing sector, particularly semiconductors, faces a critical challenge: attracting and retaining skilled frontline workers to ensure operational excellence. “Attracting frontline tech talent requires a holistic approach, encompassing updated facilities, robust training programs, and strategic location decisions. CRE leaders who embrace this comprehensive vision will be key partners in driving the success of the semiconductor industry,” says Leddy.

To succeed, tech companies must prioritize creating positive work environments that cater to the unique needs of frontline staff. This includes investing in collaborative spaces, amenities, and upskilling initiatives. CRE leaders play a vital role in optimizing real estate strategies to support talent attraction and workforce development.
