Why June Is the Perfect Time to Audit Your Workforce Strategy

We are halfway through the year, which makes June the perfect time to pause, assess, and optimize your workforce strategy. Whether you’re in hospitality, senior care, retail, logistics, or commercial laundry services, your ability to meet demand hinges on one thing - your people.

Here are 5 reasons why you should audit your workforce strategy this month:

1. Identify Hidden Gaps: Are you always playing catch-up with hiring or experiencing last-minute call-outs? A workforce audit reveals the gaps so you can address them proactively.

2. Track Burnout & Turnover: Mid-year is a great time to review your team’s energy and retention. If you are experiencing high turnover and overworked employees, you may need to supplement your core staff with flexible labor.

3. Optimize Labor Spend: Are you spending too much on overtime or short-term hires that don’t last? A staffing partner like Labor Resources can help reduce costs by providing trained, consistent workers who will elevate your customer experience.

4. Prepare for Summer Spikes: If your business hits peak demand during the summer, now is the time to plan ahead. Waiting until you're already short-staffed leads to stress and missed revenue.

5. Realign Your Goals: Maybe you’ve added new locations, launched new services, or shifted priorities since January. Your labor strategy should evolve as well to meet the new demand.
