Saddle Creek Logistics Services, a U.S.-based third-party logistics provider, has implemented a comprehensive employee benefits program to combat the industry’s high turnover rates. The program includes flexible work hours, mental health support, and enhanced career development opportunities, aimed at attracting and retaining talent in a highly competitive market.
The logistics sector has faced significant challenges in hiring and retaining warehouse workers, truck drivers, and administrative staff, particularly in the post-pandemic world. Saddle Creek’s new approach seeks to address this by offering employees not only competitive pay but also a work-life balance that is often missing in the logistics field.
“The logistics industry has always been fast-paced and demanding, but we need to adapt to the evolving expectations of today’s workforce. Offering our employees the support they need to thrive is essential to our success,” said Mark Cabrera, CEO of Saddle Creek Logistics Services.
The company has already seen a decrease in turnover and an increase in employee satisfaction since launching the program, positioning it as a leader in employee retention within the logistics industry.
