Making Your Business Count

Using A Warehouse Staffing Service For Your Needs

Ensuring that your warehouse is properly staffed can be a challenging task due to the high turnover rate that these businesses can experience. However, warehouse managers will be able to more easily manage this need if they utilize the services of a warehouse staffing agency. This can lead to improved productivity and morale due to avoiding overworking employees.

Provide Access To Properly Screened Candidates 

Warehouses can require workers to engage in lifting and other physically demanding work. This leads to a need to ensure that individuals are healthy enough to engage in this type of work. Otherwise, they could suffer injuries that may lead to expensive medical costs and worker's compensation claims. Staffing agencies will ensure that the workers that they are sending have been screened to ensure that they are physically able to perform these duties. This can help to spare your company the expense of screening candidates for drugs and other problems that could prevent them from safely fulfilling their duty. In addition to being more thorough, these services will typically be able to perform this screening for a lower cost than businesses could do on their own.

Flexible Staffing Options

The actual staffing needs of a warehouse can fluctuate over time. There can be times where awareness may experience a sudden and temporary increase in its need for workers. These situations can leave a warehouse understaffed and struggling to meet the needs of its clients and customers. Using a warehouse staffing service will allow these businesses to rapidly increase their workforce with temporary staffers. This can allow for the maximum flexibility in addressing your staffing needs while allowing you to control your labor costs. As a result, warehouses that experience seasonal surges in business can find using these services far more efficient and effective than mass hirings and layoffs.

Retain Promising Workers

At some point, it is likely that you will find a temporary worker from one of these staffing services that is an excellent fit for your warehouse. When this situation arises, you may want to retain this worker on a full-time basis. Luckily, these services will make this a fairly simple task as you will be able to directly offer the temporary worker a full-time position. However, it should be noted that it will be up to the temporary worker to accept your offer. If they decline, they will fulfill the terms of the contract before being recalled by the staffing agency.
