Growth in Logistics Industry Businesses tied to e-commerce fulfillment resumed hiring at a rapid clip in April, bolstering payrolls to meet changes in the consumer economy. Parcel carriers and delivery firms, which had scaled back hiring in March, added 3,200 courier and messenger positions last month, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said in its April jobs report. The warehousing and storage sector, which includes sprawling fulfillment centers that process online orders, added 2,500 jobs, accelerating from just 300 job additions in March. The growth in sectors tied to online consumers came as hiring at other shipping operators more tied to industrial business was mostly flat. Trucking companies followed two strong months of hiring by cutting payrolls by 100, and railroads slashed 500 jobs despite improved freight shipping volumes last month. The hiring at courier and logistics companies was part of a robust national report. Whether that growth produces more shipping demand is an open question, however.

Mobile penetration and increasing use of smartphones have led to the emergence of m-commerce, which accounted for about 40 percent of the sector’s sales this year,” Tata CLiQ Chief Executive Officer Ashutosh Pandey told IANS.

I met Rebecca when we set out to collect water for a local village. I began the trip unsure if I would even attend university the following year, but the afternoon I spent with Rebecca and her family gave me the drive and passion I needed to make the decision to study journalism.

Three Tips To Avoid When Transitioning To Performance Consulting There is an increasing demand on learning professionals today to be a performance consultant to the business stakeholders. While this elevates the level at which enabling functions operate, it also presents the classic challenge of being treated with skepticism and suspicion by various stakeholders. Resistance from colleagues and stakeholders is typical while driving a significant change in approach. From L&D’s perspective, this means transitioning from an order taker to a supply chain manager of knowledge. Here are some things to watch out for as you progress on this journey.
