The signs of a tight market are literally everywhere you look. Drive by any industrial park, and signs in front of warehouses and factories advertise hefty signing bonuses and hourly wage rates well above what was seen in pre-pandemic days. And, it's not just front-line materials handlers in DCs or manufacturing who are in short supply. Companies with supply chain operations also need managers with expertise in fulfillment operations, procurement, transportation management, and other key supply chain functions to keep goods flowing. But just how big of an issue is this labor crunch among companies with supply chain operations, and what incentives, best practices or new systems are they putting in place to help mitigate the risks of not being able to find and retain enough talent and labor? A new study conducted by Peerless Research Group (PRG) dug into these questions to find out how difficult the labor crunch has become, and what industry peers are doing about it. |
