Wanted – Found

Being really successful with employees

The future of many companies in the logistics sector depends on a whole range of different factors. One of the most important is certainly the "human component". This brings us right to the heart of an issue that is currently dominated by the shortage of qualified specialists. This shortage is becoming more and more acute and affects all sectors of the economy almost equally. We are looking for people who are well trained and up to date, who can develop new ideas and involve colleagues in company processes. And last but not least, people who can contribute to the company's success and drive it forward. A quick look at the logistics sector shows where the causes, but also the opportunities, are to find missing personnel.

Logistics is diversity

There is a major shortage of qualified specialists, particularly in logistics. Qualified drivers are in particular demand. Technical staff. Managers in the companies. Engineers and business people. People who hold a company together. Logistics is by no means just the worldwide transportation of goods. The logistics sector also includes vehicle construction and suppliers such as Edscha TS, which develops and builds state-of-the-art soft top systems. Specialist companies can also be found in rail or ship transportation. There is also plenty of work waiting at the airports. The variety of career opportunities is enormous.

Being really successful with employees

Construction parts - like a tarpaulin covering system

Above all, professional fields that many people can do little with at first glance. Yet the products drive past them every day, all over the world. Top systems such as those developed by Edscha TS in Moers in the Lower Rhine region are simply indispensable in logistics today and tomorrow. State-of-the-art technology is used to make loading and unloading fast and cost-effective. And protects the valuable truck load from external influences. Engineers and business people have their eyes on the future in this area of technology. The best thing is that at Edscha TS you can do a good apprenticeship in the commercial or technical field. Apprenticeships are always available. Please feel free to apply (Contact).

More assertiveness

Of course, most logistics companies know that standing still when recruiting is not the right way to be successful. Many companies have now developed into ultra-modern logistics centers that handle shipments worldwide. Or, in fields such as "just in time", deliver the right parts to a production site at the right time. State-of-the-art digital technology that plans routes, writes invoices and reminds customers of important deadlines is also used everywhere today. However, the focus is on trucks, which offer a high level of technology in addition to many safety aspects. We are looking for drivers who want to take on a challenge.

Showing what you can do

Even if the work and money are right: There are many factors that make young people choose a career in logistics, for example. The general public is not sufficiently aware of what logistics is and how it will move the world of tomorrow. At this point, companies need to improve their communication and present themselves to the outside world with lots of ideas. With creative job advertisements on social media, interesting taster days, a presence at local recruitment fairs, a modern website and much more. Logistics needs to compete more with other sectors.

More appreciation

Above all, employees today expect more appreciation for their job both inside and outside the company. You are not just anyone with any function in any company. You want to be proud of what you do and of the company's success to which you have contributed.

Promoting young talent

Although demographic change is affecting all sectors of the economy equally, it is affecting logistics companies more overall. Too many older employees - drivers in particular - are retiring and too few young people are coming into the workforce. A reason to do more public relations work online and offline. Without logistics, nothing would work: the right product would not be available in the right quantity, the right quality, at the right place, at the right time for the right customer. Don't you want to be part of this?
