Um, how is LYB ensuring that we have the right talent to really support continuous plant operations and deliver these essential materials both today and in the future?

Mark BuchmeierGUEST
Well, talent for manufacturing sites, um, you know, we have numerous ways that we, we hire people.

Mark BuchmeierGUEST
Um, you know, specifically for our hourly employees, we typically hire them in the, the local geographic area where the manufacturing sites are located, and, uh, we have a very high demand for our jobs.

Mark BuchmeierGUEST
If we post a job for, for 10 operators, I'll, I'll tell you within two days we'll have 500 to 1,000 people apply, and, uh, because people understand these are very good jobs.

Mark BuchmeierGUEST
Um, when we hire hourly people, whether it be operators or maintenance crafts, we don't allow them to just go to work.

Deepti SidhuHOST
For someone who's listening and considering a career in manufacturing, what's one thing that you want them to know about the impact this work can have?
