This workforce success story highlights how Doherty successfully utilized our employment expertise to implement a tailored solution for an employer in the manufacturing industry.
COMPANY
This organization is a main player in the manufacturing of board games today. Their company is comprised of 200-500 employees. Our solution was successful in their Lino Lakes, MN production facility.
CHALLENGE
This company’s manufacturing team was struggling with their applicant flow and quality for a variety of positions and needed some quick staffing ramp up with their warehouse due to seasonal demands.
SOLUTION
To address the hiring challenges for this manufacturing company, Doherty proposed a temp-to-hire program with a fast-track process which reduced the interview to offer timeline. After a thorough local compensation analysis, Doherty’s solution involved and recommendation to increase pay rates to remain competitive for these roles and attract qualified talent.
RESULTS
Doherty successfully helped the company competitively align their pay by increasing hourly wages $1.00-$2.00 across all shifts. With the compensation adjustment, Doherty was able to provide 15+ new employees to start in just one week. Throughout the partnership, Doherty has also maintained around 45-47% retention with their hired workforce.
Our client shared, “Finding individuals in a short amount of time was a huge challenge, as we don’t have a bench of employees looking to work. We also struggled to attract talent, but our hiring partner (Doherty) marketed our jobs, brand, and culture on our behalf, which greatly increased our talent pipeline and employee referrals. We are able to keep our warehouse fully staffed through busy seasons, allowing us to keep our customers happy.”
As illustrated in this workforce success story, Doherty is familiar with the talent management challenges with ramping up and retaining warehouse talent for a busy season and knows how to apply our 40+ years of employment expertise to craft a custom solution that can work for your business.
