A Message from CSCMP President & CEO, Mark Baxa. CSCMP launches two new educational and networking opportunities—one for executives and one for those just starting their career journey. One of our main goals at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) is to really help supply chain professionals throughout the entire trajectory of their careers. That’s why, to kick of the new year, we are launching two exciting new initiatives that reach out to people at the opposite ends of their career journey. The first is a new peer-to-peer member program targeting senior-level executives. The CSCMP Executive Inner Circle (EIC) is an invitation-only experience, exclusive to CSCMP practitioner (shipper) executive members. In this carefully tailored forum, EIC members will meet in exclusive live forums for discussions with other high-level supply chain executives. With this new program, we are seeking to provide executive members with exceptional learning experiences in an interactive environment with sought-after experts and resources. This unique experience allows executives to exchange ideas with trusted supply chain colleagues as we work together to push forward our discipline, engage in leader-to-leader critical decision making, and enable strategic thought. You will want to be “in the room” as we launch this next-level senior leadership peer-to-peer program. Senior supply chain practitioner executives—vice president and higher—are invited to reach out to CSCMP at corporate@cscmp.org to find out more about the EIC. In addition to the EIC, CSCMP has also launched a new jobs initiative for high school students. Launched in February, this new Training-to-Jobs Initiative (T2J) was developed by the CSCMP Center for the Advancement in Talent & Training (CATT), a CSCMP Center of Excellence. CATT combines career training and pathways for all with accessible continuing education and professional development opportunities. The Center will provide thoughtfully cultivated, crafted, and supported training experiences that respect and serve both future employees and their employers. As you can see, CSCMP is continuing to preserve and expand the reach of the learning experience it delivers, creating an environment that can be trusted to deliver exactly what you have come to expect from our association. So cheers to a new year as we celebrate CSCMP’s 60th anniversary with steadfast commitment to expanding the reach of our vision! With these new programs, we hope to further connect supply chain professionals in order to collaborate, improve supply chain leadership skills, and support the full life cycle and development of our members’ careers. In addition to our new career development programs, we will continue to identify and conduct research that adds to the knowledge base of supply chain theory and practice and create awareness of the significance of global supply chains to business and the global economy. No other association is better positioned to serve the supply chain profession today than CSCMP.

Facing high turnover rates and low unemployment, companies are struggling to create a stable supply chain workforce. Automation can help—not by simply replacing workers but by making their jobs safer, more productive, and less physically and mentally taxing.
Supply chain leaders are worried about the state of the workforce, as they should be. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, turnover rates in manufacturing hit close to 40% in 2021 and annual warehouse turnover rates reached 49%.1 The future does not look any brighter. The next generation of workers are not interested in working in these sectors—a 2021 survey conducted by talent development platform Tallo found that only 3.5% of Generation Z respondents expressed an interest in working in manufacturing and only 2.9% expressed an interest in transportation, distribution, and logistics.2 Visit https://www.supplychainquarterly.com/articles/7482-automations-role-in-solving-todays-labor-challenges to view the full article online.
