Challenge
Lack of candidates due to rural location.
Solution
Implemented RideShare program.
Narrative
This company provides protein solutions to their customers with their commitment to protein innovation and state-of-the-art processing facilities. However, they were struggling to find enough employees to open all their lines and run at capacity.
Their packaging and processing facility is in a rural area with 30 miles to the nearest metro city so there was a transportation roadblock to getting their positions filled.
QPS presented the RideShare program and demonstrated how that would assist in getting the positions filled in short order. The customer was open to the suggestion, and we started with one RideShare van.
The process went extremely well, and the company quickly added multiple vans to transport more than 50 employees that would not have been able to work there otherwise. They’re now able to run at full capacity and reduced turnover by 33% all due to the RideShare program.
