If you’re in the supply chain industry, you are most likely already experiencing the impact of the talent shortage. More and more, employees entering supply chain or manufacturing jobs are lacking basic mechanical skills, and the hiring company needs to know how to help new employees learn and succeed. Because of the shortage and shift in the kind of talent available, it’s more important than ever to find, hire, train and retain a skilled workforce.
Although those entering the supply chain industry are lacking hands-on manufacturing or technical skills, they seem to excel at technology. This is ideal because innovative technology is constantly changing the supply chain industry, and this new generation of employees can help with the transition while the technology itself can attract and retain talent.
