Have you ever wondered how fresh flowers make it to your doorstep for all kinds of occasions, from joyous celebrations to expressions of sympathy? Flowers, in their delicate beauty, play a significant role in many of life's moments, and the journey they undertake is fascinating.

Enormous quantities of fresh flowers travel from various corners of the globe to their destinations, surviving the trip to arrive looking vibrant and full of life. A droopy flower is a disappointment no one wants, regardless of the occasion.

Professionals in cold chain logistics have the critical task of not only managing temperatures but also handling these delicate products that can easily be spoiled.

Despite the current focus on AI and automation, we believe people are still the key to successful cold chain operations. Here’s why…

According to Grand View Research, the global cold chain market is set to achieve a CAGR of over 18% by 2030. If recent trends are an indicator, that’s going to be dominated by temperature-sensitive storage and transportation.

The trends driving this include rapidly increasing consumer demand for packaged foods, efforts to minimize food waste and the sensitivity of pharmaceutical supply chains.

Technology solutions will undoubtedly play a huge role, but they can be expensive, slow to implement successfully and force other major operational changes.’

What this means is that the need for experienced cold chain workers is not going to disappear overnight - probably never.

How do you see the balance between cold chain staffing and automation playing out over the next three to five years?

The disappearing truck driver mystery. There’s a trend in the USA that’s causing fleet operators a great deal of concern and it has the potential to extend and worsen the driver shortage and that will impact cold chain transport as much as general logistics.

According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the focus on drug and alcohol testing is taking large numbers of drivers who’ve been caught using these substances off the road. That’s a good thing, but there’s also a problem.

The FMCSA’s data shows that nearly 150,000 drivers are still prohibited from driving and most are not engaging in any sort of program or process to get behind the wheel again.

It seems that they may be leaving the industry to look for other roles where there may be less scrutiny but nobody knows exactly where they’re going.

So, while we are still short of about 60,000 truck drivers nationally, this continued drain isn’t helping.

We’re not suggesting for a moment that we should ease up on mandatory testing - a key element of Coldstaff’s managed labor service - but we have to find ways to retain these skilled and experienced drivers in the industry.

The pharma logistics landscape has transformed since late 2019, facing unprecedented challenges. The swift distribution of vaccines requiring ultra-cold storage turned supply chain management on its head, spurring rapid innovation.

From the design of shipping containers to maintaining precise temperature controls during transport, every detail was scrutinized. This intense period has been a boon for pharmaceutical logistics, teaching valuable lessons in flexibility and rapid adaptation.

While we didn't experience a pandemic-sized event before, we're now armed with the knowledge to pivot swiftly in the face of future supply chain disruptions.

But let's delve deeper. Beyond raw materials and logistics, how prepared are we when it comes to cold chain staffing? Can our teams handle another crisis of this magnitude?

How has your approach to logistics and staffing evolved in response to recent global events?

What skills will supply chain workers need in the rapidly accelerating world of AI?

For roles that don’t call for college degrees, here’s the list of skills the U.S. Government Accountability Office is predicting will be most in demand:

- Active listening
- Social perceptiveness
- Service orientation
- Speaking
- Monitoring
- Critical thinking
- Coordination
- Judgment and decision making

Dr Yossi Sheffi of MIT’s Center for Transportation and Logistics has written extensively on this in his new book, “The Magic Conveyor Belt: Supply Chains, A.I., and the Future of Work.”

Here’s a quick excerpt that sums up the main challenge:
“One distressing challenge associated with technological change is that although a new technology may certainly bring new jobs, those new jobs typically require new or different skills that displaced workers don’t always have. In a world with increasing automation and shifting technologies, many workers will need new or upgraded skills in order to retain, regain, or improve their employment.”

How well prepared are your logistics workers for the changes that AI will inevitably bring to the way they do their jobs?

Securing the right talent for cold chain logistics operations is still a challenge. You need the right skills, for the right fit, with the flexibility to meet fluctuating volume.

ColdStaff understands that the best and longest-lasting employees must be right for your organisation, with both the right current and future skill set as well as the right cultural fit.

Using a consultative approach we will help you define the staffing solution that is specific to your needs and the current market environment.

Employing in-depth supply chain expertise, our team is able to source potential candidates directly from within our proven and tested search capability and our external industry-wide networks using our unique SIQ (Search, Identify, Qualify) Program.

Even when you are not actively searching, ColdStaff is ‘always recruiting’. In fact, 40% of all candidates permanently placed by ColdStaff had no intention of applying directly for the available position and/or were ‘passive’ candidates.

Our clients often trust us to manage the end-to-end selection process from developing job descriptions, shortlisting candidates, background checks, and negotiating roles to pre-employment medicals.

You can rely on ColdStaff as the only source you need for quality cold chain candidates.

At ColdStaff, pre-employment drug screening has always been a key priority. It's not just about the qualification of candidates but ensuring our temps are genuinely ready for the job.

In addition to pre-employment screening, there are various other scenarios where drug tests might come into play.

It's crucial that these tests are conducted by seasoned professionals with national accreditation in specimen collection and preliminary analysis.

Consider these potential situations:
An employee is coming back from leave or medical time off.
A workplace incident occurs, and the nature of the incident suggests that post-incident testing may be called for.
There's a valid concern about someone being under the influence on-site.
Random testing might be part of your safety protocol.
Someone who once tested negative might require a follow-up test.

This could be particularly important as we head towards the festive season and higher numbers of temp staff in many workplaces around the country.

How does your organization navigate the delicate business of drug and alcohol testing? Do you handle this in-house or outsource?

With over 130 million Americans relying on prescription drugs every day, many of which are temperature-sensitive or require refrigeration, the logistics stakes are incredibly high.

It's not just about the large-scale vaccine distribution that was needed during the height of the pandemic, but essential everyday medications.

You won't find the necessary skill set in your typical warehouse staff. And drivers managing these critical shipments must maintain product integrity from start to finish.

Beyond the capacity to operate in chilly conditions, an unwavering focus on detail and a genuine commitment to regulatory standards are essential. What's needed are team members who prioritize these aspects at the core of their responsibilities.

If you're curious about how ColdStaff can be your ally in sourcing such dedicated personnel, let's connect.

It’s one thing for a customer to get cranky when some cool new gadget they’ve bought online takes longer than expected to arrive. It’s another thing altogether when someone’s health or life is at stake.

That takes the special care and special expertise that’s unique to specialised cold chain logistics operators.

Whether it’s temperature-sensitive medications, chemical reagents, or life-saving delivery of human organs and tissue samples, every shipment demands specialised treatment.

That takes people with specialised skills, experience, and training, not just general warehousing and logistics skills.

Finding those people isn’t always easy which is why that’s our entire focus here at ColdStaff.

Are you still relying on a general industrial contingent staffing services provider or is it time to leverage the industry knowledge and talent-sourcing expertise of a specialist firm?
