2 DEPENDABLE TIPS TO HIRING AND MANAGING SEASONAL
EMPLOYEES

• Once again, the holiday season is here, which
  for Store Managers means a lot of store traffic,
  increased inventory, and as expected, a new bunch
  of seasonal workers. Studies show that in the U.S
  alone, the season is expected to create up to
  800,000 temporary jobs.
• Large retailers and smaller retailers will both
  need extra hands, but as most retailers know,
  hiring seasonal employees, training and managing
  them can be a nerve-racking experience. The good
  news, however, is that with a trustworthy
  web-based shift planner, sometimes referred to as
  an online shift planner, and the right
  strategies, it is possible to turn a seasonal
  employment experience into a productive,
  flawless, and quite enjoyable experience. Here
  are some tips

• 1. Make schedules available as early as possible
• Posting schedules a couple of hours or minutes
  in advance is among the various things that can
  easily irritate a seasonal worker, and usually
  leads to poor customer service, or worse, no
  shows. This is one mistake you cannot afford to
  make with such workers, reason being that they
  understand too well that they are temporary
  employees and they are therefore likely to have
  little or no loyalty to the business.
• With this in mind, an online shift planner or a
  web-based schedule planner is one scheduling tool
  you simply cant afford not to have if you intend
  to take on seasonal workers. This is because an
  online shift planner makes it possible for
  employees, both seasonal and permanent, to check
  out a new or an updated schedule as soon as it
  has been published via their smartphones and
  other internet-enabled devices, and this leaves
  them with sufficient time to get ready for their
  shifts.

• Another advantage of using a web-based schedule
  planner during this season is that if some your
  employees (both seasonal and permanent) feel that
  they will be unable to work some of their
  assigned shifts for one reason or another, they
  will be able to respond immediately via the
  software requesting shift swaps or time off.
• 2. Make communication the key throughout the
  season
• As the saying goes, communication is the key to
  any success, and this applies to managing
  seasonal employees too. Make sure you communicate
  with your seasonal employees frequently to let
  them know of any changes in the schedule, work
  announcements, and of everything they need to
  know or do before or during their shifts.
• A web-based shift planner or schedule planner of
  good quality should be in a position to ease
  communication by allowing you to instantly
  communicate the latest information via email or
  text.
