Any single site that employs a substantial number of staff can often find themselves sapping the local labour supply dry. Whether a factory, distribution centre or other people intensive operation, often the demand for local staff can outstrip local supply.

This can lead to staff being hired and shipped in from many miles away, which has a number of negative consequences which may include:

• Increased carbon footprint from staff travel
• A decrease of local goodwill in the community, as jobs are outsourced outside the area
• Travel costs may increase the cost pressure from workers for higher wages
• A break in the local circular economy, as wages are taken outside of the local area
• A less flexible workforce due to increase commute time

As Labour Xchange can access a large volume of excellent, experienced workers that are often ignored in the traditional recruitment process, we are able to work with you to ensure your staffing needs are met locally. Our studies and operations have demonstrated that in any given area we are able to increase the local supply by at least 15%.

So instead of looking for further afield for your staffing needs, work with us and employ the local underemployed, parents and carers for a greener, more socially inclusive and efficient future.
