The Rising Temperature of Talent: A Cold Chain Perspective

Panelists: Don Schlimme Future Leader Award Candidates (names coming soon)

The labor market has evolved rapidly over the last few years, causing a sudden surge in demand, pent-up attrition levels and candidates expecting more autonomy over how, when and where they work. Cold Chain organizations that do not address these changes risk higher levels of turnover, decreased engagement and paying a higher level of premiums to attract talent. In this panel discussion, join our the Future Leader Award candidates for what will most likely be a lively discussion on how to navigate these challenges.
