Unhappy Logistics Employees Looking to Move

Supplying Leadership: Employee discontent cuts across every industry, even those that would seem to offer people especially interesting work. People in the logistics management field, for example, are highly dissatisfied with their employers, according to Euphoria, a recruitment company based in Singapore. In a recent survey, Euphoria learned that logistics workers are significantly unhappy on three continents: America, Europe and Asia. About 55 percent were disgruntled in Asia, compared with 37 percent in the U.S. and 31 percent in Europe. Inspiring leaders, a desirable work environment, work/life balance and training are “much more important to logistics and supply chain professionals worldwide than an above-average salary” or the company’s market success, according to the Global Logistics HR Survey Series. Logistics professionals cite a huge gulf between the desired and existing characteristics of their employers. Only 6 percent believe their employer places a “high value on employee needs.”
