The logistics industry is increasingly facing the challenge of high turnover among warehouse workers. Our experience shows that the average tenure often barely exceeds 12 months, leading to higher recruitment costs, extended onboarding times, and noticeable productivity losses.

What are the causes?

• Physical Strain: Warehouse work is often physically demanding, especially for older employees, leading to health issues and high absenteeism. 💪

• Monotonous Tasks: Repetitive and unvaried tasks lower motivation and increase the likelihood of job changes. 🔄

• Demographic Shift: An aging workforce combined with a growing skills shortage leads to overburdened staff and further turnover. 👥

•Lack of Career Advancement: Many warehouses lack clear career paths, making long-term employee retention difficult. 📉
