How to Find Staff for Your Disaster Relief Services
Posted on 03/07 by Erin Helms
When a natural disaster strikes, your company’s phone lines start ringing off the hook. Your community needs you, and your team is prepared, but how do you secure extra help when the enormity of the work is more than your team regularly handles?
Restoration Company Staffing Support
It’s time to call in your own reinforcements -- and LaborMax can help. Wild weather and natural occurrences are something we all live with, to varying degrees and types. Did you know natural disasters cost the U.S. economy more than $145 billion in 2021? We’re seeing more of them as well -- wildfire season is now expanding into regions of the country where it wasn’t an issue previously plus the season is stretching into other months; snow and ice storms are now hitting and debilitating cities that are not equipped for the bad winter weather and mudslides are increasing in coastal areas. There’s no time to waste in finding extra help to clean up natural disasters. Your dedicated employees are ready, willing and eager to jump into action, but it might be a fine line between asking them to work overtime and risking exhaustion and burnout.
Avoid Employee Burnout
We work with relief companies to provide temporary staffing to ease the strain on your permanent team. As a staffing agency specializing in meeting immediate needs quickly, our recruiters can first turn to the job candidates already in our database, those with skills and backgrounds in engineering, construction, warehouse management and operations, general labor and more important abilities during times of higher-than-average demand. LaborMax will work quickly to help you find the hands you need to reinforce your team.

When things get frantic and every minute counts, know that you have access to a team that will back-up and support your hard-working crew.

How to Stand Out as a Seasonal Worker: Tips for Success
Congratulations, you’ve made the smart decision to take a temporary seasonal job! Your bank account will thank you for the extra deposits from now through the end of the year, or whenever the job ends. But if you’re between full-time jobs, or if you’re thinking about changing careers, a temporary job, even if it’s a seasonal one, can be the starting point of a brand new career. You’re giving yourself the opportunity to meet people who might be able to help you advance your career in the future or, if you’re fortunate enough, you might be making an excellent case for your temporary manager to want to hire you full-time at the end of the season. It’s in your best interest to make a great impression during your seasonal job and stand out from people who are just there for the extra cash.

We’re so close to needing to put away all of our summer gear in exchange for the boots, gloves, hats and heavy coats required for working in the cold and snow of winter.

Stand out as a desirable company to work for, and retain your best talent, by understanding what your employees really want. It’s a common refrain from managers and HR offices in the past few years -- “Nobody wants to work anymore!” For what it’s worth, that’s a complaint that has been voiced for more than 100 years; everything old is new again. The truth is that people don’t want to work for less than what they’re worth; they don’t want to be told to be grateful just for having a job that pays them and they don’t want to feel like they have to sacrifice their personal lives and time for a job that doesn’t appreciate them. As a manager, you might be on the defensive already and that’s understandable. But take a moment and consider what your employees actually want from your company before skipping on to your next piece of reading material. Here’s what employees want:
