Beyond the Shortage

Strategies to build a resilient workforce

Abstract

The materials handling and intralogistics industry is a cornerstone of global commerce, enabling the smooth flow of goods from manufacturers to consumers. However, this sector is currently grappling with significant labour shortages, exacerbated by economic shifts, demographic changes, and the rapid growth of e-commerce. This whitepaper delves into the complexities of labour availability, highlighting the need for innovative solutions to support growth and efficiency.

Labour shortages are a widespread issue across Europe. Several countries, including the UK, Germany, and Poland, face significant worker shortages in critical sectors such as logistics and warehousing. The demographic shift towards an aging population further compounds this issue, as the number of working-age individuals declines.
