The logistics sector has a battle on its hands, and that battle is one of career perception. Traditionally seen as being centered around low-skilled roles, short-term opportunities and inflexible shift patterns, many potential job seekers are simply not aware of the opportunities available in this space.
But with recent statistics reporting that almost one quarter of all workers within the sector nearing retirement in the next 10 or so years, and younger workers less likely to be attracted to the sector, many organizations are facing a succession planning perfect storm and need to start focusing more closely on their employee engagement to overcome retention issues and create an employee culture that helps their workforce flourish.
In this webinar, we speak with Adam Bassant, Logistics Director at Hovis – a British bakery with a 130-year history and 2,800 employees. Adam dives into the changing workforce dynamics within the sector and shares his thoughts on how he engages, encourages, and supports his team for long-term successful careers.
