In this episode of the Logistics Podcast, Bonnie Cliff chats with Nicki Benfold, Lead Strategic People Partner at Asda, about what really happens when tech shakes up the logistics world. We dive into the human side of automation: how to tackle workforce worries, keep unions on board, and create a culture where people feel safe and heard. Nicki shares down-to-earth tips for balancing slick efficiency with keeping your team happy and motivated. You’ll find out why tech only works if people buy in, how HR can lead the charge, and what skills will matter most as warehouses go high-tech. If you’re driving change or just curious about how humans and automation can work hand-in-hand, this episode is packed with practical insights you’ll actually use.
