The Production Managers Survey 2023

The shortage of Production Managers and Coordinators has become a hot topic in recent years. Not only is it hard to attract new talent to these often under-valued roles, but skilled, experienced people are leaving production at an unsustainable rate. A new study, led by Bournemouth University, aims to shed light on the reasons for the current PM talent shortage: Why does the industry struggle to recruit to production roles? Why does it lose so many experienced PMs? How can it adapt to better attract and retain PMs in the future?

We would like to hear from people working in production at all levels, as well as from those who have left careers in production. We’re appealing to colleagues not only to complete the survey but to send the link to those now working in other roles, and critically to contact who have left the industry altogether.

The data from this anonymous survey will be used to produce an industry-facing report as well as academic articles that view the findings in a wider context. The hope is that this work will make a strong case for reforms within the industry.
