Case Study: Creative Staffing Strategy Reduces Employee Turnover
Challenge
A food manufacturer headquartered in Columbus, Wisconsin, had previously employed a contract-to-hire staffing model to fill full-time production positions. These vital roles were challenging because they required 12 hours of work per day, 6 days per week. The non-traditional schedule led to increased employee turnover and employees leaving before their contracted time was completed. Hiring was constant, and production was suffering. Unable to remain fully staffed, the manufacturer was forced to shut down equipment and could no longer meet quotas and consumer needs.
Solution
The manufacturer knew it was time to restructure its employment model and turned to a partnership with QTI for a solution. QTI recommended filling a full-time role with three part-time employees, each working two days per week. Implementing a part-time employment model for these difficult-to-fill positions would expand the talent pool and eliminate the need for a single employee to work 6, 12-hour days per week.
Results
Within a week of launching the new employment strategy, QTI filled the needed roles with qualified part-time talent. With the roles successfully filled, the manufacturer’s production returned to normal levels.
Impact
The new recruitment strategy has led to long-term staffing success, both decreasing turnover and increasing employee longevity. The organization continues to partner with QTI for creative staffing solutions.
