The 2022 Folio: Eddie and Ozzie Awards for magazines and business-to-business digital publishers has named the IndustryWeek article “Generation Now” from our spring issue a finalist for best manufacturing article of the year.
Written by Editorial Assistant Anna Smith and Senior Editor Laura Putre (representatives of different generations collaborating for this article), the story gathered a group of manufacturing people from young people starting their careers to seasoned executives to talk about how to bridge age gaps on the factory floor. Art director Tim Driver created custom graphics, including a mosaic-patterned series of images, using photos of manufacturing operations to connect people to process.
Representatives from Parker Hannifin, Sandvik Coromant, Raymond Corp., Flex, Stanley Black & Decker and Onex shared how they collaborate and how best to use the talents and passions of young workers.
Winners of the 2022 awards will be announced in September. The article had been in the Member’s Only section of the IndustryWeek website, where all magazine features have been running.
