Exceptional warehouse performance doesn’t happen by chance—it’s built by people who are motivated,...
When a site launch is days away and staffing is behind schedule, what makes the difference? Not a massive crew, but a small, expert team that can recruit, train, and stabilize operations quickly.
With respect to workforce deployment, bigger isn’t always better.
At Eclipse Advantage, we’ve found the most effective way to staff a site isn’t by flooding it with outside labor; rather, it’s by building a strong, reliable local team, trained by experts who know the job inside and out.
Smaller Travel Teams, Bigger Impact
Some workforce providers bring in large groups of traveling workers to get a site off the ground, or in today’s ever-changing climate, help offset labor shortages. That might work in the short term, but it rarely builds long-term stability.
Instead, we deploy a small, specialized travel team with one goal: to build something that lasts. They come prepared to recruit from the community and train each new hire with care and precision.
Why Hiring Local Matters
We focus on hiring from the communities you serve because it creates a more stable, invested workforce. Our travel teams help make that happen. They get to work, handling recruiting support (including bringing in an Eclipse Advantage recruiter) and training new hires shoulder to shoulder with your team. It’s a hands-on approach that builds confidence, sets expectations early, and creates teams that last.
That’s what makes our model work, experienced leadership, local investment, and a focus on long-term results.
What Our Rapid-Response Travel Teams Bring to the Table
- They’ve seen it all. Our travel teams are made up of seasoned pros who know what it takes to launch a site, handle tough startup conditions, spot great talent, and coach new hires through real, on-the-ground challenges.
- They move fast. A smaller team means less red tape and more time on the floor, working side by side with new hires to get operations running smoothly.
- They raise the bar. Our standards are high, and our travel teams make sure those expectations are clear from day one.
A Proven Travel Support Model
We’ve seen this model succeed firsthand. At the end of a recent travel team project, the client had already experienced measurable improvements in warehouse operations. Our site leads played a key role, not only driving those early results but also setting the standard by training, coaching, and motivating the travel team to meet—and often exceed—performance benchmarks.
When the time came to transition from temporary support to a permanent workforce, we took a smart next step: leveraging those same trusted site leads to help recruit and train a local team. The results spoke for themselves. The client was able to reduce reliance on the full travel team, cut costs, and ramp up their in-house staff with confidence that new hires would be properly trained and ready to perform.
Over and over, we’ve seen a strong local strategy delivers lasting benefits: community pride, increased referral-based hiring, and reduced turnover. It’s a different approach, but one that continues to prove itself effective in real-world environments.
