Managing seasonal warehouse labor demands
One of the challenges faced by supply chain executives is managing seasonal fluctuations in warehouse and distribution workforce demands. For example, as consumer demand increases during peak periods, so does the need for additional warehouse staff. As a result, the cost of hiring and training temporary workers can be high, and there is always the risk of mistakes in the process.
One solution to this problem is to augment your operation with the help of a supply chain workforce. By partnering with a company that specializes in providing on-demand labor, what we call 'contingency' labor, you can quickly and efficiently add the workers you need to meet your seasonal demands. The best supply chain workforce providers will have a network of pre-screened and trained workers ready to deploy at a moment's notice. This saves you time and money, reduces the risk of errors, and prevents your workforce from being overworked.
