Design a fast onboarding plan and training modules for 2,000 new temps

Recommendation: implement a 72-hour onboarding sprint with a fixed curriculum and a five-step readiness check, so these times were enough for temps to reach productive levels quickly during holiday peaks.

Structure and pacing: pre-boarding 8 hours, hands-on 48 hours, competency verification 16 hours; total 72 hours, with on-floor activation on day 3 and rapid feedback loops to accelerate learning.

Module design covers A) parcel handling and scanning, B) dock operations and staging, C) safety and risk controls, D) labeling accuracy and damage prevention, E) returns workflow and paperwork, plus cross-functional tasks to mirror real peak-period flows.

Delivery methods rely on micro-learning bursts, on-site rotations, and real-time feedback via the dp-dhl interface; mobile checklists keep temps aligned and speed up validation.

Role coverage ensures both full-time and part-time cohorts advance in sync; rotate across multiple functions to build resilience during times of high parcels volume, while maintaining quality.

KPIs include time-to-competence, parcels processed per hour, scan accuracy, and safety incidents; these metrics were tracked and will drive improvements, helping to boost throughput and reduce delays.

Set up compliance, payroll, safety, and benefits framework for seasonal staff

Recommendation: establish a centralized governance group for compliance, payroll, safety, and benefits with full documented policies and quarterly audits.

Roll out by february, leveraging automation to reduce manual touchpoints and achieve increased time-to-productivity for these hires. Here, use a single source of truth for all personnel data to support audits and cross-functional reporting.

Timekeeping must feed directly into a single payroll system. Use a unified schedule and clock-in data to drive pay, with a biweekly cycle (26 runs per year) and a 48-hour dispute resolution SLA. Target payroll error rates below 0.25% and automatic deductions accuracy for benefits, taxes, and overtime, boosting velocity of payments and staff satisfaction. Automation helps reduce manual steps and errors.

Safety training must be mandatory and trackable. Require completion within the first week and refreshers every 90 days. Implement daily site safety checklists, PPE compliance, and a simple incident-reporting workflow with root-cause categorization. Measure safety incidents per 100,000 hours and aim for a downward trend even amid ramp-ups.

Benefits and compensation should be group-based and accessible. Offer core benefits to eligible temporary staff, including a group health option, dental and vision coverage, paid time off or sick leave where permitted, and a short-term disability plan.
