Following the Sustainability Conference in Dubai in April 2025, we are pleased to announce the release of our latest publication: Workforce Challenges 2025 – Transformer Magazine’s Industry Navigator Report 2025, authored by Dr Mladen Banovic in collaboration with organisational development experts.
This groundbreaking report marks a strategic shift in industry research, moving from traditional engineering and material topics to the human dimension of our sector. For the first time, the focus is on the people who drive the industry – engineers, managers, leaders, and technicians – and the workforce factors that affect operational continuity and future readiness.
The report presents findings from a global study involving 704 professionals across 85 countries and six continents. It provides in-depth analysis of workforce demographics, skill gaps, generational transitions, leadership practices, job satisfaction, and organisational culture. The data is segmented by age, role, geography, and function, offering unique insights across the entire value chain.
Challenges such as talent shortages, succession planning, and underdeveloped learning frameworks are brought to light, along with strategies to address them. The report offers both diagnoses and actionable guidance for building resilient, future-ready teams.
Order your copy of Workforce Challenges 2025 report to gain access to valuable insights and strategic guidance that can help you build resilient, future-ready teams in the transformer and switchgear industry.
