| | From Janelle's Desk |  | Those involved with production or materials management will know the importance of the Japanese 'Just In Time' (JIT) concept. It was the key to the growth of Japanese business all over the world over the last 40 years. JIT is, to put it simply, the concept that the material you need to produce should be made |
available to you as you want it, where you want it and exactly how you want it. The suppliers must ensure quality and delivery. The idea is that money is not blocked by maintaining large inventories and money is saved by not having to do quality control testing. It was JIT that made Japanese industry so competitive and successful.
In the modern dynamic business world, fast reaction times are essential to meeting market challenges. And that means having the right people in the right place at the right time to act in the company's interest. But no company can afford to waste money by keeping surplus people on its payroll just so that they will be available when the need arises. But when new situations demand new people in new places, locating the right people, interviewing them and then hiring them is a long, time consuming process and by the time it is done, opportunities may be lost. Think how great it would be if JIT could be used by HR to place the right people in the right job without delay. It may sound impossible, but at Locate Staffing we can do it for you.
Temporary staffing is meant to provide a business with people at short notice and for only the duration they are required. That means that your business will be able to get people and pay for them only when they are needed. While most temporary staffing companies offer this kind of service, the problem comes in the third aspect of JIT, ensuring quality. There's no point in having temporary staff to deal with market changes if they cannot do the job. Locate Staffing is the 15th largest employer in the Sheboygan region which means that we have a large pool of people at our disposal. This enables us to find the right people for the right job and put them in place fast. We ensure that you get quality temporary staff, when you want them and for as long as you need them. Our training programs are designed to both build on the existing skills of our staff as well as give them new ones so that we can provide you with the right kind of temporary staff, each time and every time. That's one of the reason we have built such strong bonds with our clients.
Contact us for your temporary staffing needs and see the difference that JIT can make to HR.
Until next month...

You are an experienced HR guy and you join a young dynamic company on a rapid growth curve. The only problem is that the company has been growing so fast that there wasn't time to put HR policies in place. Also, most of the employees are youngsters on their first job who are technically skilled but having no knowledge of how they need to function in a structured environment.
So do you go in like Rambo, bringing in policies and system so fast you leave people in a state of "shock and awe?" After all, they need to know that this is no longer a mom and pop operation but a professional organization on the fast track. Most people will tell you to go slow. Don't overload people. Too much change can paralyze the functioning of the company, or at least of a lot of people. Do it slow and steady, everyone will say. Don't rock the boat. After all HR is a long term process.
Maybe so, but there is another point of view worth considering. Going in hard and fast will let people know the importance of the systems being put into place. Yes, structured performance appraisal systems can make people nervous. So can concepts like KRAs and balanced scorecards. But at the same time, if it is done properly it can create a lot of confidence in people that the company must have big plans if they are looking at all these things and want to implement them quickly...
So go in fast and hard. Just keep emphasizing that everything is being done to enable people to grow as fast as the company is and not be left behind. | | | |
