Aggressive production goals, PTO, and sick days can force your team to work longer hours or produce at an unsustainable pace.

Overwork and labor shortages can lead to burnout. This causes team members to move on, exacerbating the issue.

This cycle can be difficult to break, as recruitment processes drag on and force your team to do more with less.

Having a recruitment partner to help you backfill roles quickly and bolster your workforce in times of heightened demand can greatly reduce the risk of staff churn.

How many team members do you have taking PTO this month? Summer is peak vacation season, which can be a major challenge for Hudson Valley orgs like yours.

PTO means you have to walk a fine line between over-hiring or burning your team out. When you're working on a tight production schedule, even losing one person or one day of work can have major downstream effects. Our clients rely on us to fill in PTO gaps with skilled workers who are ready to step in during the busy summer months.

If you'd like to learn more about how you can plan for these kinds of absences, take a look at our blog post about PTO management:
