How to Find Staff for Your Disaster Relief Services
Posted on 03/07 by Erin Helms
When a natural disaster strikes, your company’s phone lines start ringing off the hook. Your community needs you, and your team is prepared, but how do you secure extra help when the enormity of the work is more than your team regularly handles?
Restoration Company Staffing Support
It’s time to call in your own reinforcements -- and LaborMax can help. Wild weather and natural occurrences are something we all live with, to varying degrees and types. Did you know natural disasters cost the U.S. economy more than $145 billion in 2021? We’re seeing more of them as well -- wildfire season is now expanding into regions of the country where it wasn’t an issue previously plus the season is stretching into other months; snow and ice storms are now hitting and debilitating cities that are not equipped for the bad winter weather and mudslides are increasing in coastal areas. There’s no time to waste in finding extra help to clean up natural disasters. Your dedicated employees are ready, willing and eager to jump into action, but it might be a fine line between asking them to work overtime and risking exhaustion and burnout.
Avoid Employee Burnout
We work with relief companies to provide temporary staffing to ease the strain on your permanent team. As a staffing agency specializing in meeting immediate needs quickly, our recruiters can first turn to the job candidates already in our database, those with skills and backgrounds in engineering, construction, warehouse management and operations, general labor and more important abilities during times of higher-than-average demand. LaborMax will work quickly to help you find the hands you need to reinforce your team.

Essential Cold Weather Safety for Workers
Cold weather is around the corner, if you haven’t had the first blast of it yet.

This isn’t your grandfather’s workplace anymore. Employees today want more than just to show up on time, do their eight hours, and get paid on a regular basis. If your company hasn’t yet begun to consider the employee experience and their well-being—both during the workday and outside of it—you’re already behind when it comes to recruiting new, talented candidates. As an employer, how your employees feel about their time on the job, their experience in the workplace, and whether they feel supported can heavily influence whether they stay on the job or move elsewhere, but it can also negatively affect what they tell friends and family members who might be looking for a new job about what it’s like to work for your company and what they tell people online.
