Sustainable employability in transport: 5 challenges for 2025

The transport sector faces considerable challenges when it comes to keeping employees healthy, vital and employable. We list the five biggest challenges for 2025. **1. Labour market tightness** The shortage of drivers and logistics personnel is growing. Companies that invest in vitality and job satisfaction attract and retain staff better. Sustainable employability has thus become a direct competitive advantage. **2. Ageing workforce** Many transport companies have a relatively older workforce. This requires preventive programmes focused on physical workload, mental resilience and a gradual adjustment of task profiles. **3. Increasing psychosocial work pressure** Traffic jams, time pressure, administrative burdens and client expectations contribute to work stress. Early detection and addressing of stress complaints prevents long-term sick leave. **4. CO₂ and sustainability targets** Companies are increasingly being assessed on their environmental performance. Driving behaviour directly influences CO₂ emissions. By making drivers aware of their driving style and coaching them, they make a demonstrable contribution to sustainability goals. **5. Digitalisation and data skills** Smart systems require more digital skills. Employees need to be guided through new technologies, from on-board computers to apps and dashboards. **What does Apployee do?** Apployee helps transport companies with all these challenges through an integrated approach of Smart Driver Coaching, Smart Vitality and Smart Transport Management.
