El Cambio Cultural detrás del Volante
En este episodio de Supply Chain Now en Español, Sofía Rivas conversa con Adrián Trucios, CEO de Airbag, sobre un tema urgente pero poco visibilizado: la crisis cultural en la industria del transporte. Hoy en día los conductores en México y otros países de Latinoamérica viven una realidad muy obscura detrás del volante. Algo que todos sabemos, pero que pocos estamos activamente cambiando. En Airbag, Adrián y su equipo buscan, por medio de la gamificación, cambiar los incentivos perversos y evitar que los operadores lleguen al límite. Airbag es el primer software de recursos humanos para transportistas que te demuestra que cuidar al conductor es cuidar tu negocio. Si trabajas en logística, transporte o cadena de suministro, tienes que escuchar esto. ¿Aún no te has suscrito a nuestra página en Youtube? https://bit.ly/SCNE_YouTube ¿Quieres mantenerte al tanto de nuestros episodios, invitados, eventos, y más? https://bit.ly/SCNE_Newsletter ¿Ya nos sigues en LinkedIn? https://bit.ly/SCNE_LinkedIn
