More than ever, logistics and transportation firms need to define and capitalize on a clear competitive advantage. The market landscape of 3PL providers, ocean carriers, motor carriers, railroads, port authorities, not to mention emerging and unexpected competitors, such as Amazon, is crowded. What’s more, the post-pandemic world looks incredibly different for most workforces, with a severe talent shortage that now extends well beyond drivers and frontline warehouse workers. Hiring and retaining a diverse pool of talent has quickly become the difference-maker for companies inside and outside of logistics.
Tariq Khan, author of a new book, Leadership in Changing Times, believes that every business has been disrupted; the old ways and norms of customer relationships and employee engagement have permanently changed, and our industry is no exception.
Diversity can play an absolutely transformational role in your business and will become a competitive advantage for firms who master it. Join us to hear from a strategic thinker and NYU adjunct professor, Tariq Khan, who will discuss how ethnic, gender and lifestyle diversity are reshaping the rules of engagement. You will walk away with useful tips to lead and manage in a customer-centric environment where your incoming workforce will be unlike anything you’ve seen before.
This must-attend session will focus on leading in a new environment and leveraging innovative opportunities to gain competitive advantage across your organization, securing growth into the future.
