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

With digital transformation happening across industries, the demand for semiconductors is on the rise. With increased demand comes a need for manufacturers to ramp up production—which means they need to bring on more of the frontline workers who produce the components powering the next generation of devices. A skilled frontline workforce will ensure operational excellence in a competitive global landscape.

In 2022, the U.S. passed the CHIPS and Science Act which includes $280 billion of investments aimed at boosting domestic semiconductor manufacturing. At the same time, rising production costs are exerting pressure on what is already a resource-intensive sector of the technology industry. To address the cost and demand pressures, manufacturing leaders must optimize their real estate strategies for efficiency and talent attraction.
