This workforce success story highlights how Doherty successfully utilized our employment expertise to implement a tailored solution for a wholesale retail distribution company in the warehouse industry.
COMPANY
This company is a wholesale retail distributor of sportswear apparel comprised of 25 full-time employees. Doherty Staffing Solutions (Doherty) implemented strategic workforce solutions in their facility located north of Minneapolis, MN.
CHALLENGE
This facility’s challenges stemmed from working with too many agencies at once to manage staffing. They felt that they were not being prioritized by the agencies they worked with, which resulted in many job openings not being filled when needed and poor quality candidates. Additionally, they experienced much confusion due to poor communication related to onboarding, payroll, and timekeeping. When Doherty began working with the client on a more strategic solution, the facility was forecasting their biggest revenue year to date, yet were worried that they wouldn’t be able to meet their demand output. This caused elevated stress levels for the facility, as they would have adverse financial consequences if they could not meet their business output goals.
SOLUTION
Doherty formed an exclusive partnership with this facility to effectively improve communication and streamline the management of all aforementioned employment areas. This solution increased recruiting resources with Doherty, which guaranteed that staffing levels would be fulfilled. In addition to filling all positions that were currently vacant, Doherty recruited an active pool of “at the ready” candidates who could be employed if the need arose. To reduce turnover, Doherty coordinated company-specific recruitment marketing and provided on-site staffing assistance for their entire contingent workforce, including regular check-ins with workers.
OUTCOME
Doherty’s employment solutions helped the facility maintain a fully staffed warehouse throughout its busy season. They were able to meet their customers’ demand needs and had their biggest revenue year to date.
KEY RESULTS
Key results include over 150 conducted interviews, over 45 new employees hired, and a 100% fill rate within 3 days of a new role opening up.
SUMMARY
As illustrated in this workforce success story, Doherty is familiar with the talent management challenges of achieving the highest business output goals and knows how to apply our 40+ years of employment expertise to craft a custom solution that can work for your business.
