WEBINAR TODAY
 

Strategies for a 21st century workplace were blown apart by the arrival of COVID-19, forcing the aerospace and defense industry to pivot to a work environment reliant on connectivity, fewer workers and accelerated automation and virtual teaming. Now companies must figure out how to cut costs without inflicting long-term damage on workforces that will be vital to their success when better times return.

PwC Partner John Reing joins Aviation Week’s Michael Bruno and Carole Hedden for a discussion on how COVID has changed workforce strategies and how the aerospace industry is faring on diversity.
