"Currently, around half of my team consists of permanent employees, and the other half are temporary, seasonal, or contracted workers. I find this staffing ratio a challenge because I spend a lot of time re-training new people, or trying to create an air of enthusiasm and buy-in from people who are only with us for a short time. To overcome this challenge, I hire back as many temps and seasonal employees as possible when our construction season kicks up again. I have also started building a library of resources that I refer to as the 'Online Learning Portal' where new team members can familiarize themselves with our most common processes and best practices. This initiative has decreased the time that I spend training new hires and has also increased everyone's understanding of the job, thus reducing human error and boosting team spirit."
