Currently, many companies are struggling with the problem of excessive turnover of employees. This entails high costs and the risk of default to counterparties.

Here are some tips on how to prevent this.

Appreciate and reward your employees

The availability of workers is of great importance in production plants. When you notice that one of them is extremely available, open to work and possible replacements, appreciate and reward such an attitude. By doing this, you will show that it is important and noticeable to the organization. It may also encourage others to get more involved.

Similarly, when employees complete a project solidly, or complete a task faster than the production plan intended, reward their effort with, for example, an additional bonus.

Talk about plans related to the company

The success of the company is based on the cooperation and efforts of many people. Make sure your employees feel that they are involved in your development. If you plan to make changes, communicate them in advance. It is also worth consulting with employees to find out if they are really needed. Do not force changes from above. Take into account the opinion of employees. They will feel that they have an impact on the processes occurring in the company, and are not just cog in the machine.

Take care of onboarding

The positive attitude of employees towards the company translates into greater productivity and motivation. Employees should feel that they are an integral part of it. It does not matter whether they are temporary or permanent employees. If the right onboarding activities make them feel part of the team, their engagement will increase. It will also increase the likelihood of temporary workers returning to the company at the next production peak.

Take a closer look at temporary work

A great advantage of this form of employment is flexibility. But don’t think of it as the “here and now.” Make sure that temporary workers have a positive experience of working in your company and want to return to it at the next production peak.
You will provide yourself with the right amount of hands to work, save time and money on implementation.

If you anticipate that you will need temporary workers for a longer period of time, do not sign new contracts every now and then, just immediately, for example, for a year. You will take care of a sense of stability and will not lose a trained employee when another company offers him a little more favorable conditions.

Work closely with the Employment Agency

Use its services not only to attract the necessary employees. Experts employed there will give you valuable suggestions and tips to improve the operation of the company.

Sometimes it happens that not all employees come to work, which can critically affect the production process. When this problem is repeated, the agency may propose to increase the number of shift workers by 5-10%. Such a surplus will save you from not having enough of them. Thanks to this, the production process will not be disrupted and you will fulfill your obligations to contractors.

Agency employees will also recommend actions that will increase efficiency or retain valuable employees for longer.
