Employee Training
It takes 6-8 weeks to train a new warehouse associate and 8 months to reach full productivity.
Logistics organizations train employees to boost productivity and efficiency while also ensuring job satisfaction, safety, and security. But people do very different jobs – some are office-based while others roam vast spaces in typically complex, dynamic environments. Managers, coordinators, customer service representatives, and admin staff need to be trained in supply chain management, customer relationship management, data analytics, communication, and problem-solving skills. Personnel who work in operations need training in inventory management, order fulfillment, workflow management, and transportation skills.
Inadequate training can result in inefficient and unsafe work environments. Employees may struggle to adapt to evolving technologies, industry best practices, and changing market demands, as well as fail to properly react to emergencies. Furthermore, training gaps are likely to reduce job satisfaction and employee morale, increasing staff turnover rates. Innovative technology solutions can resolve these unique dilemmas.
