Labor shortage, rising costs... What is the key to breaking through a harsh business environment?
Two years have passed since the 2024 problem (application of overtime work upper limit regulations).
In the transportation industry, which is a labor-intensive industry, the impact of work style reform-related laws on management is enormous. In addition, freight volumes are declining due to stagnant domestic demand caused by high prices. Although freight rate increases and condition improvements are progressing due to labor shortages, bankruptcies in the transportation industry are at an all-time high, and many companies are still in a severe management situation.
Moving forward, there is a mountain of tasks to address, including recruiting and developing talent, improving retention rates, strengthening sales, reinforcing partner companies and transportation networks, promoting digitalization, and managing labor and operations in response to new truck laws. It is difficult for the president alone to solve these issues, making the development of managers and the strengthening of internal systems unavoidable.
Recommended for those with these concerns:
- Although titled "manager," their actual work is only at the "supervisor" level. They don't offer significant proposals and are not much different from "general staff."
- We want them to demonstrate more leadership, motivate their subordinates, and drive business forward.
- We convey management's ideas and aspirations to "managers," but it's a one-way street.
- We want them to communicate effectively with their subordinates and act as a liaison with management.
- We want them to become managers who are in tune with the current era, capable of handling digitalization, labor compliance, and harassment issues.
