From Shortages to Solutions | Warehouse Labor Market Trends, Challenges, and Considerations

Are you struggling with finding and retaining warehouse workers? Are you aware of the current labor market trends that are affecting your industry? Join us for our upcoming webinar where Meagan Gauthier, an expert in warehouse labor management, will walk you through the challenges and solutions for navigating this ever-changing landscape! During the webinar, we will discuss three key trends that are currently impacting the availability of workers in the warehousing industry. These trends include: 1. Aging and shrinking labor force: As more baby boomers retire, there is a significant decrease in the number of workers available for hire. 2. Job openings outpacing unemployed workers: Since 2022, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has seen that there are more national job openings than unemployed workers, at a current difference of about 2 million. 3. Shifts in job market: Another consequence of our aging population is that sectors like healthcare, social services, restaurants, travel, and hospitality will need a larger workforce to meet the demands of retired Baby Boomers, meaning a smaller labor pool. These trends all point towards challenges for hiring and retaining warehouse workers. But don't worry, we've got you covered! Our webinar will also explore two effective solutions for overcoming these challenges. Solutions for Hiring and Retention 1. Increasing pay and benefits: In a highly competitive labor market, one way to attract workers is by offering higher pay and better benefits. However, this can quickly become unsustainable for many businesses. 2. Improving working conditions with automation: Another solution that we will explore is using automation technology to improve the working conditions for your employees. This has multiple benefits including making work more manageable, widening your labor pool, increasing productivity, and decreasing the need for extensive training. At TGW, we understand that people are the key to success for any business. That's why we believe that investing in your workforce is crucial for overcoming labor challenges. By implementing automation solutions, you not only improve the working conditions for your employees but also increase their job satisfaction and productivity!
