Challenges For Logistics Companies
Changes in the transportation industry can be difficult to keep up with. With technology often lagging, it’s hard to engage, retain, and manage your workforce.
Employee Relations. Maintaining good labor relations is difficult while also managing independent contractors and unions.
Driver Safety. Truck drivers, warehouse workers, and material movers face safety risks daily.
Retention. Mounting on-the-job challenges and hourly wages $4 below the national average has led to a mounting retention crisis in transportation.
Engagement. It’s difficult to engage people when they’re on the road or working strenuous warehouse jobs.
The Power of Communication for Transportation Companies
The right logistics communication strategy is critical to solving the many challenges you face in your industry.
Targeted communication is key to creating engaging, relevant campaigns for your union vs. non-union employees.
Feedback loops help you continuously improve the employee experience while also showing employees their voice matters.
Accessible channels ensure that all employees receive critical messages in real-time even if they’re on the road or in a warehouse.
