Winter workforce readiness goes beyond staffing

  • 1.  Winter workforce readiness goes beyond staffing

    Hi everyone - Happy Friday.

    My name's Doug with Snow & Ice Salt & Chemicals, Unlimited, LLC.  Not here to spam or sell anything, just sharing something we see every winter.

    When snow storms hit, it's not just staffing plans that get tested.  A lot of otherwise solid teams end up slowed down by material issues - ice melt running out, deliveries delayed or product not performing when it matters most.

    We spend most of our time helping facilities and service partners stage and secure winter materials ahead of events, so crews can focus on safety and response instead of chasing product mid-storm.

    From what we've seen, some of the biggest winter workforce disruptions aren't labor-related at all - they're supply-related.

    Curious how others are thinking about material readiness as part of overall winter and workforce planning.

    Thanks and have a good weekend,
    Doug
