Logan recently shared that one of the frequently heard, but lesser anticipated outcomes, of implementing Goods-to-Person automation is employee engagement and retention. Logan said that quality employees want, expect, and appreciate that warehouse and DC owners value employees' health (ergonomics), and proactively seek ways to make the job of picking and packing fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) as easy and efficient as possible.
The value in employee retention is increasingly important with a tightening of the available DC workforce.
