Workforce Staffing’s Post

Are you compromising safety for hiring skilled Forklift Drivers FAST? 🚨 Common pitfalls: ● Rushing interviews ● Choosing speed over quality ● Skipping important background checks ● Copying others' bad hiring methods ● Ignoring important steps in recruitment ● Partnering with any recruitment company Sound familiar? "We need someone fast – just hire whoever!" "Fill the vacancy now; we're shorthanded." ⚠️ The consequences: ● Workplace accidents ↑ ● Missed deadlines ↑ ● Equipment damage ↑ 💡 The solution: Partner with a specialist logistics labour partner. ✅ Imagine having a logistics labour partner with deep knowledge of the Australian logistics market – → We understand the challenges like strict regulations, long distances, and the need to be familiar with local routes and laws. ✅ Imagine having a logistics labour partner who provides high-quality forklift drivers → We deliver highly experienced, highly skilled forklift drivers who excel in Side Loading, Pallet Stacking, High Reach Forklifting, Reach Stacker Operations, and more. Investing in specialised recruitment = Better, safer drivers. Agree?

Recently saw a job posting for a Forklift Operator job through a known staffing agency. It listed: "Compensation and Environment: $19.00 per hour Around $90,000 per year 60+ hour weeks available Large Growing Company! Benefits and Weekly Pay!" Math isn't my strong suit.. But I'm definitely not working 91 hours a week to hit 90k a year at $19 an hour. 90k a year comes out to $43 an hour (+/- a few bucks depending on OT and days off) in a 40 hour work week. About $29 an hour at 60 hours a week. What am I missing here? Is the staffing company just offering $19 an hour and pocketing the other $24 an hour? Is it false advertising? Will this staffing agency negotiate on the hourly to produce a quality employee for their client? Am I really, really bad at math or just completely missing something? #EmploymentSearchFrustration #StaffingAgency #Recruiters #RecruiterAgency

My favorite part about going from the power tool industry to the rental equipment industry: becoming certified and/or trained to operate the equipment myself. 👷🏻♀️🚜🦺🇺🇸 Being able to operate a backhoe, dozer, forklift, telehandler, scissor lift, and more, are things I never thought I’d not only learn to do…but also ENJOY. Shout out to the Sacramento Branch Manager, Yard Crew, Mechanics, Parts Manager, and Service Manager for helping me get up to speed. I feel even more empowered and ready for action than I did before. Here’s to more challenges, learning curves, and accomplishments coming my way. PS: Don’t ya’ll worry; I was safely parked, seatbelt on, backhoe turned off, AND PPE on deck, before using my phone to take a photo with the equipment! #SafetyFirst 😜 #WomenInConstruction #ForkLiftCertified #TelehandlerCertified #Construction #California #RentalEquipment #Safety #Challenges #NewBeginnings #PPE #Safety #CareerMove #Excited #JobOpportunity #NextChapter #CareerSuccess #ProfessionalDevelopment #PersonalGrowth #CareerGoals #EarthMovingEquipment #DirtyHandsCleanMoney

Saturday Safety Reminder: Never Carry Passengers on a Forklift Unless There Is a Designated Seat! Safety first, friends! As we kick off the weekend, let's take a moment to reinforce a critical safety practice when it comes to forklift operation. It's imperative to remember that forklifts are designed to carry loads, not passengers—unless there is a designated seat installed for that purpose. Forklifts are powerful tools designed for specific tasks, and their stability and handling characteristics are carefully calibrated for optimal performance under load. Adding extra weight in the form of passengers can drastically alter the balance and manoeuvrability of the forklift, posing a serious risk to both the operator and any unauthorized riders. To ensure the safety of everyone in the workplace, it's essential to adhere to strict guidelines regarding forklift operation. That means never allowing unauthorized personnel to hitch a ride on a forklift and always following proper protocols for transporting passengers safely, should it be necessary. Let's commit to prioritising safety at all times and empowering each other to make smart choices on the job. By working together to uphold these essential safety standards, we can create a safer, more secure workplace for everyone. Stay safe, stay vigilant, and have a fantastic weekend, everyone! Remember, safety is everyone's responsibility. 🌟 #SaturdaySafety #ForkliftSafety #WorkplaceSafety #SafetyFirst #optimalperformance #safetyreminder #intheworkplace #reminder #forklifttraining #jobs #forklift #forklifts #materialhandling #forkliftoperator #heavyequipment #excavator #logistics #warehouse #forkliftparts #equipment #forkliftdriver #logistica #toyotaforklift #forklifttruck #lifttruck #constructionequipment #forkliftrental #pallettruck #forkliftservice #birmingham #wolverhampton #coventry #leicester #northampton #nottingham

Did you know we do two-man jobs? Sometimes a helping hand is needed! Generally, two-man jobs apply to freight which is either very large, very fragile, requires special handling or is high-value. A dedicated team of two delivery personnel allows for increased efficiency in the delivery, reduced risk of damage and extra security! #JJX #logistics #twomanjob #delivery #collection #freight #trucking #consignment #highvalue #reducedrisk #security #efficiency #help #dedicated #transport #deliveringsmiles

Some ask me… Michael how in the world do you keep your equipment… even the older stuff so damn clean and ALWAYS shining? Well here you go… you need to start with a full time staff and proper professional cleaning and polishing equipment and supplies… next… a full time expert detailer that work M-F 9 hours a day. We circulate our fleet on a daily/weekly basis so that our fleet NEVER stays dirty for more than a day or two and is always cleaned outside and in… washed , polished and shined for peak appearances ALWAYS… is there dedication and effort needed? 100%… is there a hefty cost associated? 100%… does our fleet look like rolling bill boards everyday they’re on the street or set up on a job site? 100%…. Is it worth the price of admission 1000% #fleetpride #itsajacobazzithing #prideinownership #lovewhatyoudo #highstandards

We are here on National Forklift Safety Day to give you a reminder to make sure you are being safe when operating or working around a forklift. Many of our Remedy jobs work in an environment where forklifts are present. #TipTuesday If you are a driver yourself, make sure you are following the guidelines, wearing your seatbelt, and are aware of the working environment and pedestrian areas around you. Don't forget to conduct your pre-operation checks! ⚠ If you are around a forklift, be aware of the forklift pathways and working environment around you. You will want to know how to react if there ever is an emergency, such as a forklift tipping over. 🦺 #RemedyIntelligentStaffing #staffingagency #Remedy #safetyawarenessmonth #safetyawareness #forkliftsafety #warehousesafety #productionsafety #nationalforkliftsafety #nowhiring #applynow #productionjobs #warehousejobs #manufacturingjobs #1stshift #2ndshift #3rdshift #CedarRapidsIowa #IowaCityIowa #WaterlooIowa #FortMyersFlorida
