Descartes’ Study Reveals 54% of Supply Chain and Logistics Operations are Prioritizing Automation to Mitigate Workforce Shortages - Seite 2

The study’s results also showed that the strategies, tactics and technologies used by companies to address labor constraints vary by financial performance, growth, management’s perceived importance of supply chain and logistics operations, and by how successful employee retention programs are.

Descartes and SAPIO Research surveyed 1,000 supply chain and logistics decision-makers in late 2023 across three sectors: a) manufacturing, distribution and retail; b) carriers; and c) logistics services providers. The goal was to understand what supply chain and logistics organizations are doing to improve worker productivity, attract and retain employees and find alternate labor sources to mitigate workforce challenges today and in the future. Respondents were based across nine European countries, Canada and the United States, and held Owner, C-Suite, Director and Manager-level positions in their respective organizations. For the full report, read What Are Companies Doing to Survive the Supply Chain and Logistics Workforce Challenge?
