As the holiday shipping season begins, 3PLs (Third Party Logistics), distribution centers, and warehouse operation will be faced with the lack of available labor and obvious skills gap. Recruiting efforts for these vital workers can be improved by building a solid online employer brand that gives candidates a better sense of the business, values, and opportunities.
Increasing base hourly wages to improve retention and offset the cost of excess overtime will help along with offering tuition reimbursement and flexible shifts to accommodate students’ class schedules. Companies must proactively manage company profiles on sites like Glassdoor by responding to reviews and sharing company updates.
While Amazon is currently the disruptive elephant in the room for the retail supply chain industry, there is more to come. Whether machine learning, flying warehouses, self-driving delivery vehicles or drone delivery, supply chain organizations must make it a priority to build a resilient talent acquisition team that can weather turbulence and help sustain a positive bottom line. This is a process that will surpass the holiday shopping season.
