DSJ Global, Phaidon International’s specialist end-to-end supply chain talent acquisition brand, has uncovered the current salaries, benefits, and career motivations of nearly 900 supply chain professionals across Europe in its latest report.
As supply chains face endless threats and disruptions, ranging from production delays, increasing material costs, and changing consumer preferences, to geopolitical affairs, cyber threats, and extreme weather, industry professionals are under increasing pressure to keep one step ahead. Equally, organizations are facing mounting competition to attract and secure top talent as the demand for industry expertise becomes ever more vital.
Despite these complex demands, DSJ Global found that salary increases and bonuses were minimal for Europe’s supply chain professionals in 2023, and a low base salary was one of the most common reasons for leaving a company as a result. Flexible working, company reputation, and having a challenging, interesting role were also high priorities for professionals.
In addition to salary and bonus benchmarks, this exclusive report explores the benefits, leave, and flexible working packages offered to today’s supply chain professionals, reveals differences in compensation between industries, shares top push and pull factors for those considering a career move, and offers advice for businesses and individuals affected by counter offers.
Commenting on the release of the report, Matthew Wood, Executive Director at DSJ Global, said:
"As Europe’s economic outlook becomes more certain, supply chain functions are shedding their conservative hiring strategies from the past year. As the market heats up and competition for talent intensifies, it’s essential for companies to consider more than just salaries if they want to secure the best professionals to future-proof their business.
“Our new report provides comprehensive benchmarking for every aspect of compensation packages, making it a vital read for anyone in supply chain functions. If you are looking to stand out in the market, please get in touch for more tailored support.”
Containing essential insights for both hiring managers looking to attract top talent, and professionals exploring their career options, this report is an invaluable resource to help both parties make informed decisions.
