Jan Wickel

Head of Terminal Recruitment and Continuity at Rhenus Logistics

“We can still manage understaffing to some extent as long as we make sure that challenges are solved before they turn into problems by thinking out of the box and being creative. At least for the rest of this century, the tightness of the labor market is and will continue to be a growing issue. Opportunities are given and have to be seized and obtained. Dare to think and behave in unconventional ways!"

Jan has experience with hiring newcomers at Rhenus. Why does he recommend it to others?

"Working with Ukrainians is beneficial in any situation. At Rhenus Logistics, we have two Ukrainian women working in the CSD department in the office as well as one Ukrainian man in operations at Terminal. I have come to know and describe them as that rhey have good work ethics and are loyal and reliable. I can say for sure that Port of Opportunities at least has Rhenus Logistics BV as a FRIEND! And we recommend any other company struggling with finding good employees to think out of the box and ask PofO to help think along with them."
