“In the country, the shortage of personnel with this new profile is concentrated in key sectors such as Logistics and Manufacturing, both report great difficulty in recruiting the right candidate,” said ManpowerGroup.
According to the study The journey to the hybrid organization of NNT Data México, 53% of large companies in Latin America are implementing automation strategiesThis is largely due to the fact that eight out of 10 organizations perceive these projects as key to the future of business.
