The millennial discussion
It can’t be overstated: our industry needs to engage with millennials.
Having just surveyed 2,000 mil- lennials from across Canada on their perceptions of trucking and logistics, we need to identify practi- cal, thoughtful approaches not just for employers, but for the industry as a whole.
I think this discussion will heat up, and Trucking HR Canada will be right in the middle of it.
Continued focus on women
We also need more women. Trucking HR Canada is taking a more focused look at how to attract, recruit, and retain more women in our work- force. Join us March 7 at our fifth annual Women with Drive Leader- ship Summit to learn more about what we can all do.
The effects of automation
Technology is changing the nature of work. We need to understand how automation in trucking and logis- tics will impact all jobs, including drivers and even the HR function itself. The effect of this technology will be profound, and HR managers need to ensure that it is included in their workforce planning.
Compensation
No column on HR trends would be complete without at least a mention of compensation. As the focus on employee retention increases, so too will the need to have clearly defined total compensation packages.
Employers who look beyond financial incentives to reward and recognize their employees will have an advantage. Those who know how to clearly communicate their approaches will stay on top.
Change management
Change is inevitable. The question is how to manage its effects on employ- ees. In times of change, people may fear for their job and thus need to be reassured about their role in the organization. Make sure your staff are properly trained, informed, and empowered to give your employees the help they need to learn, adapt, and grow.
One thing is certain as we move into 2019: our industry is always changing. The real leaders who emerge are the ones who skillfully embrace it. TN
