EMPLOYEE EXCHANGE

WHAT IS EMPLOYEE EXCHANGE?

In 1993, Rhino Foods was faced with the issue of excess staffing brought on by efficiency improvements and the seasonality of the ice cream industry. Ted, the owner of Rhino Foods, wasn’t interested in laying off employees. Instead, he turned to his staff to explore creative solutions to reduce the staff while maintaining well-trained employees for the long-term.

Through a series of meetings, the concept of the Employee Exchange Program was born. It is simply an exchange of employees between companies with opposing seasonal business cycles. The benefits to the companies are avoidance of seasonal layoffs, retention of well-trained staff, and increased employee morale.

WHY CHOOSE EMPLOYEE EXCHANGE?

Developing long-term employee exchange partnerships with other area businesses will give your company the flexibility to exchange a varying number of employees as seasonal capacity needs shift from year to year. Save thousands of dollars in staffing costs, while retaining skilled employees in the long-term.

Employee Exchange helps you retain valued employees and strengthens the sense of community and trust in your team by continuing to improve the program and maintaining the commitment to avoid layoffs.
