How to Avoid a Staffing Crisis This Summer

Let’s be honest—every business leader has been there.

You’ve got a packed schedule, the phones are ringing, and the customers are rolling in... but the staff? Nowhere near enough. Suddenly, you’re in full-on panic mode trying to cover shifts, fill gaps, and avoid disaster.

But here’s the hard truth:

The summer surge is real (and predictable) so poor planning for adequate staffing is a risk no business can afford. In the Southeast, summer is peak season for hospitality, healthcare, vacation rentals, landscaping, and service-based industries. Between Memorial Day, July 4th, back-to-back travel weekends, and regional events, the pressure on your team will skyrocket.

The warning signs are there. Yet many businesses wait until it’s too late to secure seasonal labor—and the cost is higher than you think:

• Staff burnout from covering too many shifts

• Lower service quality and longer wait times

• Poor guest reviews and lost repeat business

• Revenue left on the table because your team couldn’t deliver

You can’t grow if you’re constantly just trying to stay afloat. Plan smart and plan early.
