What Is the 2026 Workforce Data Telling Us?
Turn Workforce Data Into Better Decisions
What does it take to compete for people in today’s print industry?
Compensation is certainly part of the equation, but a wage figure alone cannot tell you whether your company is positioned to recruit and retain the people it needs. The real value comes from understanding those numbers in context.
On September 29, Teresa Campbell, program administrator for the annual Wage + Benefits Survey and Reports, will present findings from the 2026 Wage + Benefits Survey and examine broader workforce trends affecting the printing industry.
This one-hour webinar will explore compensation, benefits, recruitment and retention, helping attendees better understand how their company's practices compare with industry peers and recognize workforce shifts that could affect future planning.
More importantly, the conversation will help leadership teams identify the questions they should be asking as they prepare for 2027.
Put the Data to Work
Whether you're an owner, executive, HR professional or manager responsible for your company's workforce strategy, this webinar provides an opportunity to move beyond individual data points and better understand what the findings may mean for your organization.
Tuesday, September 29
12:30 AM to 11:30 PM
Presented by Teresa Campbell | PIA MidAmerica
The 2026 Wage + Benefits Survey and Reports is sponsored by Significans Automation.
The numbers tell us where the industry stands. Understanding the trends behind them can help determine what questions your company asks next.
