“Hats off” to this sector.

“Many companies in our sector are already back to pre-pandemic figures when the forecast for this scenario in Spain is for the year 2023… They have transformed difficulties into opportunities and achieved excellent results in a very complex environment. ‘Hats off’ to this sector,” says Jordi Llobet, General Manager of Doga Parts, expressing his optimism about the direction of the sector in his market analysis for AUTOPOS.

What worries him

The possibility of social tension due to the economic crisis we will face next year, resulting in a significant loss of purchasing power. It is evident that the salary update will fall far behind the inflation rate, and this, along with job losses, can generate significant social inequalities.

Are there reasons for hope?

Always, and especially in our sector. Many companies in our sector are already back to pre-pandemic figures when the forecast for this scenario in Spain is for the year 2023. We all need this to work, and it depends on us, so more than hope, there is trust.

What has surprised him, caught his attention?

The speed at which many companies have turned difficulties into opportunities and are achieving excellent results in such a complex scenario as the current one. ‘Hats off’ to this sector.

What do you think is going to happen?

We might see changes in the labor market. After the lockdown and widespread telecommuting, with the return to normalcy, companies and employees will have new and different priorities. We will have to make efforts to attract and retain talent in our organizations.

“The Great Resignation: that’s how the new phenomenon has been dubbed in the USA, where millions of employees quit their jobs every month in search of companies that better align with their priorities – which have changed after the pandemic – in the form of higher salaries, more benefits, and better conditions.” We will have to devise new methods to acquire talent for our teams.

What is Doga Parts doing?

Making decisions and prioritizing. Interpreting Peter Drucker when he says that long-range planning is not about thinking of future decisions, but about the future of current decisions.
