This is mainly due to the huge influence of the unorganized sector and high number of small players venturing into the business. As a result more employees are in need to cater the services from various backgrounds. Sources also estimate that this logistics industry employs over 45 million people in the country as against IT and ITES sectors which employs approximately 4.3 million people, and is growing at the rate of 15% with sub–sector growing at 30–40% per annum.

This paper focuses on the manager’s role in identifying knowledge, managing, shaping up and retaining employees for accommodating changes in workplace particularly in Logistics sector.
