Priority #3 for Seasonal Success: Resource Accessibility – Make Help Easy to Find

One of the biggest challenges for seasonal hires in manufacturing isn’t just learning how to run machines or follow processes, it’s knowing where to find answers when they need them. A strong training program is essential, but even the best-trained employees will have questions on the job.

When employees struggle to locate resources, whether it’s equipment protocols, shift procedures, or safety standards, it creates delays, raises safety risks, and affects output.

1. Centralize Information with a Digital Knowledge Hub

Employees should never have to guess where to find answers. Creating a single, digital resource hub ensures that seasonal workers can quickly access:

• Standard operating procedures (SOPs), safety checklists, and machine manuals.
• Shift protocols, production line specs, and escalation procedures.

Pro Tip: A mobile-accessible knowledge base ensures that employees can search for answers instantly—without slowing production or requiring supervisor intervention.

2. Promote Peer Support & Shift Mentoring

Seasonal hires often learn best from experienced line workers or team leads who know the ins and outs of the job. Whether it’s mentorship pairings or quick team huddles, creating a support system helps employees feel confident and connected.

Pro Tip: Daily pre-shift meetings allow teams to review safety reminders, address common issues, and reinforce key steps in the day’s workflow.

3. Use Propelr for On-Demand Access
