For many logistics companies, the new realities of Covid-19 and Brexit have highlighted more than ever the need for dynamic leadership. They need to be able to respond quickly and decisively to resolve the plethora of problems being thrown at them every day. However, many are finding the amount of time they have available for their teams is being reduced because they’re spending hours on admin related to employee management.
A reliance on spreadsheets or paper-based processes means managers can be spending a significant percentage of their time on rostering, timesheet approvals or queries related to time and attendance and missing valuable time away from the “shop floor”. The absence of an automated employee management system also affects their ability to plan and forecast because they don’t have easy access to reliable, historic workforce data.
