Struggling to find reliable workers? This case study reveals how a local manufacturing company overcame chronic staffing challenges, improved productivity, and reduced costs by partnering with Trades Labour Corporation (TLC).
A mid-sized manufacturing company based in Manitoba, faced a critical and common problem: a persistent shortage of reliable workers. This wasn’t just an inconvenience; it led to constant hiring cycles, high employee turnover, and unfilled shifts, directly impacting their production output and overwhelming their internal HR team. In spite of their traditional recruitment efforts like job postings and advertisements, they struggled to attract and retain qualified workers. Each new hire was a drain on resources—more onboarding, administrative tasks, and other associated risks. Many new employees would leave within weeks, creating a frustrating “hire-fire-repeat” cycle. This constant churn significantly hampered productivity, lowered morale on the production floor, and left the HR department stretched thin. The company needed a sustainable solution for industrial staffing.

Recognizing the need for a strategic staffing partner, the manufacturing company turned to Trades Labour Corporation (TLC). TLC specializes in providing skilled and pre-screened industrial labourers, ready to integrate into production lines with minimal training.
