Explore how leveraging the Veryable solution helps HR leaders turn challenges into opportunities and maximize the potential of their workforce.
As an HR leader, you're tasked with maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of the human capital that exists within your company. You need to ensure you have enough labor to meet operational demands without overstaffing and wasting resources. You also need to make sure that workers are satisfied and engaged. In the manufacturing and distribution space with so many external factors at play, this can be exceptionally challenging.
Some of the top challenges facing HR leaders include:
Failure to properly address these challenges can severely limit the potential success of the business, and without having the tools, resources, or time needed to do the job, these issues will only grow in magnitude.
Relevant skills & experience, reliability, safety, and a positive attitude — as an HR leader you're looking for all these qualities in the talent you recruit. What if you could tap into a population not only equipped with these skills but also experienced in high-stakes situations? You can with Veryable, all while allowing workers the flexibility they so badly desire. Veryable offers a revolutionary approach—a marketplace connecting manufacturers with skilled and vetted Operators, a concept distinct from traditional staffing models and usual hiring techniques. Unlike staffing firms that impose rigid arrangements, Veryable provides Operators with autonomy over their terms, schedules, and workloads. This approach not only benefits manufacturers and distributors by providing operational flexibility, but it empowers Operators to take ownership of their work.
It works like this: when there’s work to be done, a manager posts the work as an opportunity that workers quickly bid on. Managers then choose which workers they would like to utilize, and the worker completes the agreed upon work and is paid the next day through Veryable. There’s no long-term commitment for the business or worker like there would be with an employee. Businesses can then add the workers they like to a sideline bench called a labor pool. The business then has a flexible extension of their workforce they can call on when necessary, and the workers maintain control of their own schedules and can find work elsewhere on the days they aren't needed.
In order to meet ever-changing demands, leaders have to be proactive and agile - using spreadsheets with siloed information won’t cut it. The result of relying on “the way things have always been done” is wasted time, inflated labor costs, and lost productivity. Workforce Management brings all your information into one place, seamlessly integrating with your Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). These integrations allow WFM to automatically create forecasts and schedules based on actual needs in real-time as well as provide your team with a comprehensive view of how each labor hour is being utilized. WFM can act as a standalone platform for your full-time employees, or it can complement and automate many of the decisions made in using Veryable's On-Demand Labor Marketplace.
Implementing this system will provide benefits such as:
Together these systems help you manage labor in the most efficient way possible and optimize how every labor dollar is spent across your footprint.
Leveraging Veryable's On-Demand Labor Marketplace to build a flexible extension of your full-time workforce and utilizing WFM to streamline the labor planning process makes your job easier in numerous ways.
*By integrating directly with your existing HRIS and WMS, our Workforce Management tool creates a centralized hub for unified collaboration where cross-functional users can find data on anything from quantity of processed units by product all the way to employee clock-in and out times.
* With access to thousands of skilled and vetted local workers at the click of a button, you can find workers today to meet your operational needs tomorrow and you won't have to spend weeks going through the process of direct hiring or sourcing through a staffing agency.
* The digital resume for each operator on the platform and the nature of the rating and review system gives you more insight about a worker than a traditional resume would.
* With the ability to bring in additional workers as needed, your full-time employees will have more predictability in their schedules with less overtime. They'll also be able to use their PTO without feeling like they're putting the whole facility behind and giving their coworkers more to do.
* If you look at a skilled workers day, you will find that they spend a good chunk of the day not performing skilled work. Bringing in supplemental on-demand labor to assist with non-value added tasks frees up capacity for these skilled workers to focus on their main objectives and get more done.
