It has happened to every warehouse manager: the shift schedule for the week is set, and everyone is ready to get to work until an employee calls out of work at the last second. In the scramble to ensure the work gets done, you may end up taking on extra overtime costs, risking employee burnout, or taking a dip in productivity – even if a replacement is found.
Being able to keep your warehouse running smoothly in unforeseen circumstances is one thing, but finding dependable flex labor at a moment’s notice is another. By using a service like HapiGig, you could have access to same day, on-demand warehouse staffing whenever you need it, all through an advanced and easy-to-use online platform.
Unpredictability of Warehouse Staffing Requires Innovative Solutions
Even the most dependable full-time employees on your roster can get sick, have doctor’s appointments, need to deal with family emergencies, and encounter all sorts of other issues that may make them unavailable to work with little notice. It may be challenging to fill your schedule with qualified workers on such short notice.
Unexpected peaks and valleys in demand can make predicting how much labor you’ll need on a given day especially difficult. Overpreparing and having to send workers home can be a waste of time and money, but if you suddenly find yourself overwhelmed, it can be even more troublesome to call in additional manpower at a moment’s notice.
Finding qualified employees who are both dependable and able to perform the work you need them to is hard enough while you’re hiring for a full-time position, but experienced warehouse laborers who can fill a shift on-demand the same day you need them can increase productivity and efficiency.
