Employee turnover is a huge challenge that many businesses and industries face. With various repercussions that can cost contractors and companies money, a revolving door of employees has results that are far-reaching. There are various activities that employers can perform to reduce employee turnover within their organization. Here are a few tips to help you slow down the revolving door and inspire long-term loyalty from your employees.
Do your employees regularly need to work over time to meet demands? Do you find that your employees are scrambling to get jobs finished on time? Could you use extra hands during peak season?

During Alberta’s oil boom and the subsequent population swelling in Calgary and Edmonton, Constructive Solutions Group spent almost as much time educating our workforce about their rights and responsibilities as we did getting them placed and hired. Out of respect for all those individuals, our current readers, and those who might call us for work tomorrow, we’d like to share today’s post about how to prepare yourself for employment as part of a temporary labour force.
This post is best read along with our previous post titled 4 Top Characteristics of the Best Employees. If you missed it, find it here.
Focusing on the issues of ‘hireability’ and ‘keepability’ (we know – not really technical terms but relevant all the same), is a point that more temporary labour agencies should acknowledge. As a temporary worker employed by Constructive Solutions Group, you represent our company on every job you go to. Therefore, looking professional and knowledgeable about our processes and your role in it is in everyone’s best interest.

This isn’t news to our readers.
What is apparent, and good advice at any time in the history of the working world whether on the economic upswing or downturn, is what makes for the best employees. What improves hireability – and ‘keepability’? Because employing you is our business, Constructive Solutions Group has taken the question one step further – that is:
What are the evidence-based characteristics that define the best employees, either temporary labour or those ported to permanent contracts?
According to research here at Constructive Solutions, businesses in both Edmonton and Calgary pride themselves on being scalable. Flexible. Right-sized for client needs. But what does that mean for the existing pool of labourers and tradespeople that are currently looking for work? Consider temporary labour as an option in order to springboard into your career.
The best labour agencies were established to connect clients and labourers through practical solutions to temporary labour requirements. With changes to FR programs and potential labour shortages looming, now is the time to carefully consider your working options.

The main goal of these changes seems to be aimed at encouraging employers to focus on Canadian recruitment, retention and training even more. Some of the general processing has changed but all of our clients are still eligible to participate in the program.
