7. Tips for Peak Season Preparation
With economic growth, increased hiring and peak season right around the corner, it’s important for employers to
provide competitive wages and stronger benefits packages to employees, as well as invest time and energy into a
robust employee engagement program. If you anticipate competing for peak season labor, be mindful that in the
current labor market your workforce may be recruited away if other companies are offering more attractive pay and
benefits options.
Start today to create a plan for attracting and hiring a qualified workforce in time for peak season and beyond. Some
things to consider:
• Make sure your pay rates are competitive
• Consider part-time schedules for those who need flexibility
• Evaluate the skills you would like to have versus those you truly need
• Reconsider second-chance candidates
• Be creative with recruiting and consider digital outlets such as social media
• Enlist a staffing partner for help
