To keep pace with the heady rush of e-commerce, especially in the run-up to Black Friday in November, the logistics industry is expanding rapidly, working to meet the surging demand for fast, reliable fulfilment.
But riding this wave comes with challenges, says Donné Nieman, sales director at Workforce Staffing.
“Seasonal peaks, especially around Black Friday and the festive season, cause sharp spikes in labour demand.
“Maintaining a large permanent workforce to handle these waves is neither practical nor cost-effective. Instead, businesses need flexible, scalable staffing solutions that rise and fall with demand.”
Nieman argues that Temporary Employment Services (TES) providers are the steady force helping companies stay balanced on this wave.
