Case Study: a major U.S. retailer reduces turnover and improves attendance with PeopleReady temp-to-hire staffing

Major U.S. retailer reduces turnover and boosts attendance with PeopleReady's temp-to-hire model

PeopleReady worked with a major U.S. retailer that was struggling with high employee turnover and poor attendance at one of its store locations. This was negatively impacting productivity, morale, and profitability, as onboarding each new employee cost approximately $3,000.

PeopleReady implemented a temp-to-hire staffing model with a new incentive-based pricing structure. Associates were paid an additional $7 per hour for working a full 40-hour week, providing a strong incentive for good attendance. This solution drastically reduced turnover and onboarding costs for the retailer. The success was so significant that the store manager, now promoted to district manager, expanded the PeopleReady program to over two dozen other locations.
