From Challenge to Triumph – Employee of the Month and Innovative Staffing Strategies

In recent years, a recurring concern voiced by our clientele revolves around the growing challenge of sourcing and retaining top-tier talent. It seems a convergence of various factors has brewed what can only be described as a ‘Perfect Storm’ in maintaining operational momentum with a fully staffed team. Amidst this storm, we’ve been proactively devising strategies to address the talent deficit plaguing our clients. One such initiative involves tapping into a valuable resource often overlooked: retirees.

By reintegrating retired personnel into the workforce on a part-time basis, we’ve witnessed a tangible alleviation of staffing shortages for our clients. The feedback we’ve received underscores the manifold advantages of this approach. Returning retirees bring with them not only a wealth of experience but also a refreshing positivity and adaptability that can be instrumental during periods of flux. Moreover, their reentry into the workforce often necessitates minimal to no training, enabling a seamless integration into existing operations.

This month, we’re delighted to spotlight a shining example of the efficacy of this strategy: our Employee of the Month. Their dedication and contribution serve as a testament to the invaluable role that returning retirees can play in bolstering organizational resilience amidst staffing challenges

March Employee of the Month is Janet S. “Her supervisor said Janet knows how short they are on trained permanent staff and is doing this to help even though she could be enjoying retirement full-time. Janet has picked up any shift we have asked her to work, and she has assisted in special projects which utilizes her expertise. We could not be functioning at the level we currently are without her. Janet was an exceptional team member before retirement and continues to do so as your team member.”
