Roles were filled, but productivity lagged.
With its focus on express shipping, our client needed to have a well-trained, dependable, and efficient workforce. Production rates at one of its southern facilities were hampered by low transition rates, as a significant number of assigned associates from previous temporary labor agencies did not transition to Employbridge. From there, the challenges snowballed. What started as a transition became a knot of recruiting and training challenges. While we could hire new talent, losing experienced workers lead to slowdowns and a loss of knowledge about processes and operations

What we did
Clearly defined goals, higher expectations, and clearing bottlenecks on the line.
