For internal communicators, logistics communication is already a challenge. The pandemic only made these difficulties come into sharper focus. The stakes are much higher today when sharing safety information and protocol changes, updates on driver pickup schedules, and more. On top of that, communicators face increased pressure to engage logistics frontline workers and ensure they feel included and involved in the company’s larger mission and culture.
Logistics Communication Challenges & How to Overcome Them
By its very nature, logistics is all about movement, making it difficult to reach employees who do not sit at a desk for work.
The logistic industry’s contractor-based operations model adds complexities to internal communication. Because contractors and subcontractors handle so many facets within the logistics chain, communication can become siloed, contradictory, and confusing. It’s often necessary to limit access to specific internal information and documents depending on a team member’s employment status. And communicators find it challenging to send out targeted messages when they’re unsure of who’s working, where and when, and for whom.
