You're Not Struggling to Fill Positions. You're Struggling to Keep Them Filled.
The warehouse sector faces 37% annual turnover, more than ten times the national average. You've tried temp agencies, temp-to-perm, and traditional recruitment. Candidates start, then quit within weeks. The cycle repeats. Training is wasted. Productivity suffers. Your team is exhausted.
 

WHY YOUNG WORKERS LEAVE?

They Don't Quit Because They Can't Do the Job. They Quit Because No One Helps Them Succeed.
