Seasonal Staffing Made Simple

Retailers are gearing up to welcome holiday shoppers for the year. The Holiday season is crucial for most retailers in helping them meet their yearly sales targets. According to the National Retail Federation, retailers make as much as 30% of their yearly earnings during this period. Being adequately prepared for it and getting the most out of it can lead to success against your targets for your key metrics.

  • Hiring the right number of people, with the right availability;
  • Training your seasonal staff quickly and effectively;
  • Scheduling staff optimally;
  • Setting up appropriate targets;
  • Driving these efforts in real-time, and
  • Keeping staff motivated.
