RISK & RESILIENCE
Q. AMID TALENT SHORTAGES ACROSS LOGISTICS AND DISTRIBUTION, WHAT STRATEGIES WILL MAKE SUPPLY CHAIN ROLES MORE ATTRACTIVE?
» The competition for talent in logistics and distribution is intense, and wages alone are no longer enough to attract and retain skilled people.
Today’ s workforce, in addition to the basic expectations of fair and accurate pay, also wants purpose, progression and flexibility. For supply chain roles, that translates into offering clear career pathways, providing opportunities for continuous learning and demonstrating how their roles are essential to their organisation and the global economy.
Organisations must also work to improve the everyday employee experience. This could mean more flexible shift patterns, greater self-service and determination of working time and holidays, better tools for communication
