In recent years, the concept of friendshoring has gained prominence as a strategic approach to mitigate risks associated with global supply chains. Friendshoring involves relocating supply chain operations to countries that share similar political and economic systems, ensuring stability and reliability. This chapter delves into the human dimension of friendshoring, highlighting the critical role of human capital in fostering sustainable and resilient global supply chains. Through an exploratory analysis of the literature field, the manuscript explores the role of skills, training, and policies needed to optimize human capital for effective friendshoring. The chapter aims to enhance the intangible dimension of friendshoring and its role in developing sustainable and human-led global supply chains. Focusing on the critical role of human capital, it provides insights into the strategies, policies, and practices needed to effectively support friendshoring initiatives towards creating holistic models that can support the geopolitical challenges that are compromising markets around the world.
