Often there are concerns about an oversized labor force showing up, but there are solutions for this. You could deploy additional workers to other departments or areas to meet emerging needs. Alternatively, you could set a cut-off point and turn away excess workers. It’s reasonable that punctual workers would have precedence over late arrivals.
By paring down your workforce, you can concentrate more effectively on those who are present and ready to work. This process helps evaluate their fit within your organization and allows for building positive relationships. You might even consider retaining these workers for future gigs or permanent employment.
Over-hiring for gigs acts as a safety net against having fewer workers than required. By anticipating “no shows” and expanding your roster, you have more flexibility in achieving your work goals with the right number of workers. Post over-hiring, you get the opportunity to evaluate your workers better, retaining the top performers and replacing those who fail to show up or meet job expectations.
