The global shortage of labour – skilled or otherwise – has imposed a new set of strategic priorities upon employers. Shipping is no exception. In fact, it is one of those industries most at risk from a shortfall, both at sea and ashore.

So, back to my opening paragraph and, in summary, many businesses do need a new set of strategic priorities focused on finding, retaining and developing the right people to work in and run the business. It’s all a bit circular in the sense that those people are the people who give ‘you’ your identity and who ultimately will either fulfil your purpose, destroy your reputation or vote with their feet and move to the opposition …or perhaps take early retirement.
