What Your Employees Want From Your Company

Posted on 11/13 by Erin Helms

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.

How to Choose the Right Warehouse Temp Agency for Your Business

Posted on 09/30 by Erin Helms

If you’re having trouble filling your warehouse roles, you are not alone. Warehouse staffing is notoriously difficult for a few reasons. One is the ongoing labor shortage. As the economy continues to add jobs, there is ever-increasing competition for top talent. In addition, older workers are quickly retiring, but many young people don’t see warehouse work as a viable career, which makes it harder to replace an aging workforce. Finally, many warehouses experience seasonal peaks and valleys in demand, which makes it tough to know exactly how many people to hire and when. Fortunately, warehouse staffing services can help you overcome these issues and match your staffing levels to your evolving business needs.
