Future-Proofing Your Workforce in Uncertain Times – Consider the F.A.C.T.S.

Manufacturing Industry Challenges:

With an aging workforce and an insufficient pipeline of skilled workers to fill the gap, companies are facing a looming labor crisis. As Baby Boomers retire, a significant number of skilled tradespeople are leaving the workforce, and the younger generations are not stepping in fast enough to replace them. Add in the economic conditions and concerns over tariffs, interest rates, cost of goods, immigration policies and a recession, and you have the perfect storm conditions for a downturn.

So, how can manufacturers plan ahead to meet their organizational goals and remain competitive in an ever-evolving market?  Consider using a staffing service to supplement your labor and maintain production levels.

  • Flexibility- Having a temporary workforce allows you to right-size the staff you need on a changing basis, scaling up or down based on demands
  • Analytics – As a data-driven company, we can help you track and meet your metrics
  • Compliance – QPS can manage E-Verify and other employment tracking requirements as demands for compliance increase with the new administration
  • Talent  – We have a database of over 1.5 million and have access to many additional passive candidates not found of job boards
  • Savings- By utilizing a staffing firm, your company will remain nimble and won’t take on the burden of unemployment, workers’ compensation or any recruiting and screening costs
