Breaking the skill-loss cycle in supply chain and procurement

Supply chain and procurement organisations face a double whammy of struggling to recruit employees who possess the critical skills they need, while retaining the existing skilled employees who make their businesses tick.

According to research by Skill Dynamics, a quarter (27%) of junior supply chain professionals plan to leave their role over the next two years, and almost as many junior procurement professionals (23%) plan on doing the same.

Put another way, over a four-year period, a supply chain and procurement organisation’s junior ranks will need to be replaced entirely and the skills and knowledge of those individuals will be lost.
