Finding Experienced Unloaders for Warehouse Jobs

The logistics industry is not only governed by the ebb and flow of supply and demand, but also by the need to rein in and to control overhead costs. This desire to minimize spending, however, can lead to inefficiency and the very thing they seek to avoid: higher operating expenses. For example, many warehouse managers hire temp warehouse workers from an agency. The primary problem with hiring temp warehouse staff is a lack of experience. This inconsistency leads to many issues, most with serious consequences. In this posting, Labor Loop, the leading source for on-demand, experienced unloaders for warehouse jobs, will cite the problems with hiring temp warehouse workers, and propose the ideal solution for your business and your bottom line. 

Warehouse managers who have hired temp warehouse staff, immediately notice the following:

• The temps were unfamiliar with the standard equipment and tools.
• When damaged freight was discovered, the job ground to a halt, and the agency temps did not know who to contact for direction and assistance.
• When temp warehouse workers’ injured themselves, work stopped, and existing staff had to be quickly pulled from their assigned tasks to fulfill the trailers or container unloading. A liability lawsuit was also threatened.
• The agency temps required supervision, and a member of the warehouse staff had to be diverted from their duties to oversee the temps hired to perform the unloading task. 
• The job took far longer than expected, due to the temp warehouse workers’ inexperience in freight unloading as well as the importance of keeping on schedule.
• The temporary employment agency never sends the same team of workers twice, so the task of training and retraining temp warehouse staff becomes tedious, repetitive, and cost-inefficient. 
• Employing temp warehouse staff produced the following results:
  – Longer unloading times, which were inefficient.
  – Tapping existing resources in the form of permanent staff meant their tasks were not
    Performed.
  – Overall productivity took a financial hit.
