BACON helps warehouse managers find reliable warehouse personnel to meet seasonal demands, by providing managers the benefits of flexibility, control, and efficiency.
In the peak of seasonal demands, finding reliable warehouse personnel becomes a challenge for hiring managers in every industry. No one is more familiar with this challenge than warehouse managers, who are trying to meet demands but struggling to get people in the door.
On-demand staffing apps, like BACON, provide instant aid to these managers. BACON offers quick access to reliable temp workers.
BACON is in tune with what managers need in terms of reliable warehouse personnel.
1. Immediate Access to a Pool of Reliable Workers
Seasonal surges require immediate access to warehouse personnel. This is often difficult to find through traditional hiring processes, and often temp agencies can’t provide instant access to pools of workers. On-demand staffing apps provide instant access to large pools of pre-background checked, reliable, local workers who are ready to work.
Once a business profile is set up on BACON, warehouse managers can quickly post the shifts they need filled. Once posted, workers apply for the shifts they want to work and the managers accept the workers they want. Warehouse managers can quickly find temp workers for seasonal demands, minimizing headaches and ensuring productivity
Black Diamond Equipment faced a complex staffing challenge. They needed a staffing solution flexible enough to meet their ever-changing needs, so they gave BACON a chance and found that the versatile on-demand staffing platform was just what they needed to find flexibility without compromising quality.
“There’s a big comfort in having a mainline connection with the actual workers, rather than just going through a temp representative.” -Black Diamond Warehouse Manager
2. Flexibility to Scale Staffing Up or Down
Warehouse work can fluctuate, sometimes unpredictably, making it difficult to maintain the right balance of warehouse staff. On-demand staffing apps offer the flexibility to scare warehouse staffing up or down in real-time. Allowing hiring managers to adapt to changing workloads.
With BACON, managers can adjust labor needs based on current demand ensuring cost-effective operations. doTERRA Lindon Fulfillment Center noticed they had increased need for temp workers the first two weeks of the month but not the last two weeks. Traditional temp agencies were not able to meet this unique need without over-staffing the last two weeks of the month.
Using BACON they were able to post shifts for the first two weeks of the month and when things slowed down not post any shifts the last two weeks of the month. Ensuring their temporary staffing strategy was efficient and cost-effective.
3. Control over Selection of Workers
A common complaint among hiring managers is they’ll receive a temp worker from one temp agency who doesn't work hard or doesn’t show up. So they’ll switch to another temp agency and get sent the same worker again!
Temp agencies don’t have the transparency or features to hold workers to high standards. The BACON platform does have these features to help managers know the kinds of workers they are getting.
- BACON Score
The BACON Score is a way of measuring the performance and reliability of workers on the BACON platform. It ranges from 0-1000 and takes into account several factors that show a worker is reliable and hardworking. The BACON Score is visible to both workers and businesses on BACON
- Favorites List
The Favorites List feature allows businesses to add workers they liked to a list. Managers can send invites to future shifts directly to these workers.
- Rating System
After every shift is worked, managers have the chance to give feedback and rate the workers. If a worker is given a poor rating or a bad review their BACON Score is decreased and the manager can block them from future shifts.
- Zero Tolerance Policy
BACON has a zero tolerance policy for drug use, intoxication, harassment, theft, or violent behavior on a shift. If a worker is reported for any of these behaviors they are suspended from the BACON platform.
On-demand staffing apps like BACON provide reliable warehouse personnel by offering immediate access to background checked workers, flexibility to scale warehouse staffing up and down, and control over selection of workers.
The BACON app is reliable, flexible and cost-effective for warehouse staffing.
