Labor shortages, rising costs… What is the key to overcoming tough business conditions?
It has been two years since the 2024 regulations (enforcement of overtime work limits).
For the transportation industry—an intensely labor-intensive sector—the impact of work-style reform legislation has been significant. Additionally, freight volumes have declined due to weak domestic demand amid rising prices. Although freight rate increases and improved working conditions are progressing in response to labor shortages, the number of transport company bankruptcies has reached a record high, suggesting many companies still face severe operational challenges.
Going forward, companies must tackle numerous pressing issues: talent acquisition, development, and retention; sales enhancement; strengthening partnerships and transportation networks; digital transformation; and labor and operational management compliance under the new trucking regulations. These challenges cannot be solved by CEOs alone—developing capable managers and strengthening internal systems are now essential.
This seminar is recommended for those facing the following challenges:
- Job title is "manager," but responsibilities are limited to supervisory tasks, with little strategic input—functionally no different from regular staff
- Want managers to demonstrate stronger leadership and boost team motivation to drive operations forward
- While sharing the owner's vision and经营理念 with managers, communication remains one-way
- Need managers to communicate effectively with subordinates and act as a bridge between frontline staff and executives
- Want to cultivate modern managers equipped for digitalization, labor compliance, and harassment prevention
