So, it’s almost Q4 - your busiest season, right? HR's scrambling to hire. You’re ordering double, maybe triple the workers, hoping a few stick around. You're left with a Hamster Wheel of Chaos. And for what?
Because you’re still running your seasonal workforce like your regular full-timers.
Come on - your turnover is CRAZY high because you’re doing it wrong. You think firing a seasonal worker for missing a day is going to keep everyone in line? Wrong. You’re pushing them out the door faster than they came in.
Today’s workers have options. They’ll DoorDash, Uber, or swipe through Indeed until they find something better. And guess what? They will. If you’re not offering flexibility, they’re fired on Thursday and starting their next thing by Friday.
So, here’s the hard-to-swallow truth: if you want to stop the bleeding in Q4, stop pretending these workers want your 40-hour-a-week with mandatory overtime job. Instead, build flexibility into their schedule.
Give them control of their schedules. Let them manage their time off, and watch what happens—they show up. They stick around.
