IMPROVING HIRING PRACTICES IN TODAY’S MARKET
I had the honor of speaking at the Wire Association’s Operator Summit earlier this month in Dallas and was amazed to hear how many companies are struggling to hire people. Below are some takeaways from the event.
Companies need to be creative to find ways to attract the right people. Embrace flexibility, alternative hiring sources, part time and weekend shifts.
One company is having success allowing people to work 36 hours on the weekend but paying for 40 hours. These 12-hour Friday through Sunday shifts allow employees to go to college and finish their degrees. Due to this practice and the part time scheduling, this company is fully staffed during the weekend shifts.
