The evolving Daily Business News market report sets the manufactured home industry’s stocks in the broader context of the overall markets. Headlines – at home and abroad – often move the markets. So, this is an example of “News through the lens of manufactured homes, and factory-built housing.” ©
Part of this unique evening feature provides headlines – from both sides of the left-right media divide – which saves busy readers time, while underscoring topics that may be moving investors, which in turn move the markets.
Readers say this is also a useful quick-review tool that saves researchers time in getting a handle of the manufactured housing industry, through the lens of publicly-traded stocks connected with the manufactured home industry.
This is an exclusive evening or nightly example of MH “Industry News, Tips and Views, Pros Can Use.” © It is fascinating to see just how similar, and different, these two lists of headlines can be.

Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
Introduction and Toplines from Gallup’s of
“State of the American Workplace“
It may sound like bragging, but as a C-Suite level industry executive recently told MHProNews, “It’s not bragging when you point out something that’s accurate. You’ve been spot on about several important issues, and you should remind your readers of that fact. The major network news do that, and you [MHProNews] should do it more often.” That same pro also thanked us for brining a breadth of coverage they find nowhere else in industry trade publishing.
So on the tooting our own horn? Hmmm, okay. If you read through the Gallup Survey’s toplines, and details – regular, detail oriented MHProNews readers will spot several subjects that we’ve highlighted for years.
So even though the Gallup survey is generic, vs. industry specific, it makes points about the workforce that the Daily Business News has made for months- to-years. It reinforces the point that we strive to keep leaders-who-are-readers informed about topics that matter.
Someone could spend tens of thousands of dollars to higher experts that may or may not be able to generate this level of depth in research and reporting, that is useful for business owners and management. It’s an in depth read, which you can download for later use.
Some key segments of Gallup’s new survey include the following:
- Executive Summary
- Workers are Increasingly Confident and Ready to Leave
- Do Employees Want What Your Workplace Is Selling?
- The Real Truth About Benefits and Perks
- The Competitive Advantage of Engaging Employees
- A Shift in Managing Performance
- A Closer Look at the 12 Elements of Engagement
- The Changing Place and Space of Work
- Employee Engagement: A Snapshot
- Close
- About This Report
STATE OF THE AMERICAN WORKPLACE presents an unparalleled look into the modern workforce. The report is based on Gallup’s in-depth research and study and was created to help business leaders optimize their attraction, retention, engagement and performance strategies in a time of extraordinary change.
The findings and best practices speak to employees’ evolving wants and needs and give leaders a clear understanding of what it takes to be an exceptional workplace.
Gallup developed State of the American Workplace using data collected from more than 195,600 U.S. employees via the Gallup Panel and Gallup Daily tracking…and more than 31 million respondents through Gallup’s Q12 Client Database. First launched in 2010, this is the third iteration of the report.

Specific Closing Thoughts on Manufactured Home Team Development
Especially in the arena of sales, customer service, and resident relations, manufactured housing professionals face challenges that are unique when compared to hundreds of other professions.
For example, the industry’s image issue can weigh on an employee. People want to feel proud about where they work, and what they do. Being in an industry that has significant image issues arguably contributes to employee turnover.
The solution is common sense. Get your people motivated and excited about what they do, and in doing it for you.
While third party employee training that MHProNews’ consulting does has a cost, it also pays off in terms of higher productivity and higher job satisfaction.
The video snippets above from industry professionals is a tiny example of how ‘feeding’ your employees and management alike with good information can be motivating. Anyone can and should read the reports and watch the videos we produce.
