Benefits of workplace strategy for freight and logistics

Workplace strategy is becoming an essential strategic lever for smart freight and logistics’ leaders. When you maximise and future-proof your offices with a workplace strategy, your workplace turns from an expense to a valuable asset that can help:

Attract and retain the next generation

As a mature industry with a workforce made up of mid-to-late career employees, a large chunk of freight and logistics workers will be looking at retirement in the next decade.

As these industry stalwarts leave, it’s crucial you attract the next generation of digitally-savvy workers, both to replace those leaving and to augment and improve your organisation for the future.

Increase collaboration for efficiency

The world is on track to an increasingly digital future and freight and logistics is at the forefront. The industry has always prioritised efficiency and reliability, and a digitally intelligent organisation is the next incarnation of this.

Your workplace needs to enhance and facilitate collaboration and innovation to keep up with and lead the industry.

Support staff health and wellbeing

Supply chain issues, increased demand and lockdowns have had a massive effect, not only on the industry as a whole, but also on the physical and mental health of its employees.

Your workplace can play an important role in supporting the holistic wellbeing of your people - from encouraging connection between colleagues to promoting more beneficial health behaviours in the workforce.

Create a company culture

In an industry where consolidation and mergers are commonplace, there is an essential need for strong and shared company culture.

Your workplace can be a space where people connect, communicate and live the company culture. The right workplace will help a new combined culture flow through the rest of the organisation and align leadership and staff.
