CEDAR Partner Leede Research & Manpower Present at Chamber Workforce Summit 2019

Leede Research share the results of its Manitowoc County Tertiary Workforce Study at the Chamber of Manitowoc County's Workforce Summit 2019 on October 24th. The study looked at 502 people from the area at different stages of Workforce participation. The goal of the project was to better understand how to increase participation and understand what target groups were opportunities for future workforce development. The Chamber will be forming work groups to address specific opportunities from the study. Leede and the Chamber will also be offering employers a free Employer Net Promoter Score measurement. eNPS has been growing in use with labor force shortages and issues.

Manpower Vice President, Stacey Force also presented at the event on U.S. & Global Workforce Trends that will impact the future. She shared that there is currently a digitization of the workforce and the advent of automation and new technologies will change the workforce in coming years. It is projected that most manufacturing workers will require 188 hours of training in the next five years to stay current in their roles.

She noted that it is projected that 63% of the jobs that Generation Z will have in their lifetimes have not been invented yet. The new workforce will be nimble and constantly training. The advanced pace of change was noted. It took the telephone almost 40 years to fully integrate into society while the tablet computer took only a year. This speed of change will impact almost every industry and job.

CEDAR Completes First Month of Lifesallhere.com

The CEDAR Collaborative is celebrating the first month of its new engagement platform for Manitowoc County. Lifesallhere.com is a new website deliverable for the community and taps the work and concepts of the Vision 2022 program launched in Manitowoc County in 2017.

The site seeks to bring all things Manitowoc County to a single focal point under the Lifesallhere identity. The launch has been a success and the site's numbers, functionality and content are growing literally every day.

The site is Stage 1 of a deeper offering from CEDAR Collaborative, using the power of the Gage engagement platform. Gage, based in Minneapolis, is a leading provider of platform tools and solutions for leading companies around the world. In Stage 2, the goal is to bring the Education, Marketing Automation and Rewards platform components to the project.

CEDAR has also announced that they are now starting to take meetings from other community groups and development organizations to demonstrate the platform and share more about how the deliverable can be customized for any market.

CEDAR is now available to demonstrate their technology to other communities and partners.

Measure and Leverage Visitors in Your Community!

CEDAR Collaborative offers a unique set of tools that can help communities better understand and leverage visitor traffic in their community. This is accomplished through our technology partner 5Nines in Madison.

There are a number of components available in this process, including a unique beacon program that can measure consumer traffic in select geographic areas through a non-invasive measure of cell phones. The beacons capture the phone's search for WiFi signal and identifies it as a unique individual without an app or any personal information. This can be a great tool for events or ongoing measurement in downtown and attraction areas.
