Posted on 11/27 by Erin Helms
Congratulations, you’ve made the smart decision to take a temporary seasonal job! Your bank account will thank you for the extra deposits from now through the end of the year, or whenever the job ends.

Posted on 11/13 by Erin Helms
Stand out as a desirable company to work for, and retain your best talent, by understanding what your employees really want. It’s a common refrain from managers and HR offices in the past few years -- “Nobody wants to work anymore!” For what it’s worth, that’s a complaint that has been voiced for more than 100 years; everything old is new again. The truth is that people don’t want to work for less than what they’re worth; they don’t want to be told to be grateful just for having a job that pays them and they don’t want to feel like they have to sacrifice their personal lives and time for a job that doesn’t appreciate them. As a manager, you might be on the defensive already and that’s understandable. But take a moment and consider what your employees actually want from your company before skipping on to your next piece of reading material. Here’s what employees want:

Strategies for Recruiting and Retaining Skilled Construction Workers
Posted on 05/30 by Erin Helms
While many aspects of the current economy are riddled with uncertainty, one industry continues to experience massive growth: construction. Even in an unstable housing market, demand for non-residential builds is high, giving many construction companies the manufacturing, retail, and mixed-use projects to keep them profitable. But while this high demand is certainly a plus, it comes with a significant challenge: a persistent skill shortage exacerbated by an increasingly tight labor market.

It’s clear that if this level of demand and competition continues, construction employers will need to focus on recruitment and retention in order to succeed. In this article, the expert team at a construction staffing agency will give employers smart and implementable strategies for recruiting and retaining skilled construction workers. From improved job advertising to thorough training to an emphasis on worker safety, construction leaders can leverage these methods to satisfy their employees, minimize turnover, and meet demand in this exciting industry.

If you are struggling to keep your projects staffed with reliable construction workers, a construction and skilled trades staffing agency can be the key to the success of your project. When you need a large number of laborers for tasks like demolition or cleanup, having an established relationship with a temp agency for construction workers makes the process seamless.
