Technology is transforming the life sciences industry and accelerating how it innovates and produces products. The increasing prevalence of automation, robotics, AI, the IoT, and other technologies is changing how products are designed and manufactured, while unprecedented access to data is enabling new levels of insight and reporting.
At the same time, the changing demographics and makeup of the life sciences workforce is putting pressure on companies. A skills gap caused by the approaching retirement of experienced employees, the rise of contract and gig workers, and the need to integrate a multigenerational workforce are all combining to disrupt the industry’s ability to attract and retain top talent.
