PT WORK Force continues to support PT/MC Employers with valuable resources

The need to find right-fit people and motivate employees to take advantage of future growth opportunities is more important than ever. Because of the generous contributions made by companies and individuals to the PTDA Foundation 2023 Fund Drive, the charitable arm of the Power Transmission Distributors Association, power transmission/motion control (PT/MC) employers are further empowered in their recruitment and retention efforts through the PT WORK Force initiative.

In 2023, PT WORK Force delivered valuable insight and resources to help employers maximize their workforce — whether in the plant, the warehouse, or in a work-from-home environment — through programs and services to assist with talent growth and development.
