Many supply chain teams find it hard to create meaningful career development opportunities when workloads are heavy and formal training resources are limited. This session helps leaders move beyond frustration and uncertainty toward intentional, practical actions that support employee growth and engagement. Participants will explore why career development often stalls in the supply chain environment and learn tangible approaches supply chain leaders and peers can use every day — including setting clear skill expectations, using regular micro-check-ins, facilitating peer learning, and turning routine tasks into development moments. Emphasis is placed on transparency of roles and expectations to reduce uncertainty, build confidence, and enable employees to take ownership of their career progress.
