SKILLS FEATURE
chain is valued by senior management, to promote retention. The medium term should see people incentivised to join and stay in supply chain, which comes from providing competitive salaries and establishing attractive career paths, as well as considering the needs of the incoming generation. The long-term effort needs to be put
into changing perceptions. The general public, and within it, those responsible for influencing the next generation and the next generation themselves, do not appreciate the vagaries of our sector. Unclear language contributes to their lack of understanding and strengthens the focus on products and services, the ubiquitous trucks and sheds, rather than on the exciting trends affecting the profession.

The long-term effort needs to be put into changing perceptions."
Outwardly, therefore, the profession needs to do more than promote the ‘coolness’ of today’s technologies – communicating the educational requirements for succeeding in supply chain careers and the opportunities thereafter is key to unlocking and sustaining interest, creating the managers of the future.

long-term solution to the skills shortage in the logistics profession.
