transport and logistics talent expectations in 2023

Job candidates are getting savvier and are researching to know more about salary ranges, compensation packages, career progression and work arrangements available for specific roles and positions. HR and business leaders would need to review their employee value proposition in order to keep up with the fierce competition for talent.

To remain competitive especially in a tight labour market, organisations must constantly reevaluate their business processes and salary budgets in response to changing economic conditions, as well as new ways of working methods.

As such, they have higher employee expectations around compensation and benefits. With things going back to the pre-pandemic levels, coupled with high inflation and an uncertain economic outlook, job candidates in transportation and logistics will expect a salary increase of around 15% to 30% when switching employers.
