The Driver Deficit 2.0: Building a Future-Proof Logistics Workforce Amid Skills Shortages, Retirements and Regulatory Changes

The UK's logistics sector is facing a workforce challenge that extends far beyond today's vacancies. An ageing driver population, growing demand for transportation services, increasing competition for talent and upcoming employment legislation are forcing employers to rethink how they attract, retain and deploy critical workers.

For HR and workforce leaders, success is no longer defined by filling open roles. It depends on building a sustainable talent strategy that can support operational performance, improve retention and create long-term workforce resilience.

In this HR Grapevine webinar, experts from Brook Street will explore the workforce trends reshaping the transport and logistics sector and examine the practical actions employers can take to secure talent in an increasingly competitive market. From developing new talent pipelines and broadening access to underrepresented groups, to preparing for legislative change and strengthening workforce planning, this session will provide actionable insights for organisations looking to stay ahead.
