the difference Randstad makes
Here’s a quick overview of the challenges one of our clients faced managing their talent pool, and the results we were able to achieve. Read our case study [link to case study], to find out how we did it.
A client faced talent challenges due to its seasonal business cycle. As the client approached peak season, they were struggling to keep an engaged talent pool of people ready to work at very short notice. Next to this, unemployment in the region was the lowest it had been for 16 years. Working with the client, the outputs we were able to deliver were:
- Decrease staff turnover by more than 40%
- Reduce overtime by more than 50%
- Improve previous attendance variance by more than 10%
- Achieve faster cycle completion – 48 weeks compared to 52 weeks
- Save $100k plus year-over-year
