Division: Information Technology


High employee turnover signals deeper issues within a company's culture. Employee burnout, low compensation, and poor leadership impact work experience daily. Identifying and addressing these issues is crucial for organizational health. 


Allied OneSource is your partner in addressing your hiring needs. We find candidates who meet job qualifications and fit into your company culture. Here's how we assisted an aviation fueling system manufacturer. We helped them address their high turnover and achieve success. 



The Obstacle 

Our client is a leading company in the aircraft fueling industry. Since 1952, their airplane refuelers and hydrant dispensers were the top choice. Major players in aviation loved them. This includes big fueling firms and oil companies. It also consists of airlines, freight transporters, and gas marketers worldwide. 


They operate globally and are used in over 80 countries. Nearly every major U.S. airport uses their refuelers and fueling systems daily. 


Despite their growth, the client faced workforce challenges. Managing relationships with multiple agencies became difficult. High employee turnover made it worse. Agencies' points of contact (POCs) experienced communication gaps. 


The client's expansion created unintended challenges that needed immediate attention. High turnover became a pressing concern, impacting daily operations. 

 
 

The Solution 

Allied OneSource has years of experience in hiring and recruitment processes. 


We carefully consider technical qualifications and cultural fit when addressing workforce challenges. Our approach evaluates job needs and checks if they match the culture. Here is how we helped our client overcome the obstacles.   

 

  1. Comprehensive Understanding
    We took a strategic and a 360-degree approach. It aimed to address turnover and communication challenges. First, we worked with the client's manager. We thoroughly understood their business, its current state, and future needs.

  2. Team Engagement and Online Visits
    To gain a deeper understanding, our recruiting team met with every member of the client's team. We conducted on-site visits and job shadowing experiences. This allowed us to immerse ourselves in their daily operations. We also understood their work's complex nature.

  3. Technical and Cultural Alignment
    We went beyond assessing technical skills. We emphasized aligning candidates with the client's desired cultural aspects. We also identified essential traits for success. Our candidate identification process considered both technical requirements. It also considered crucial cultural factors. These factors are what's needed to thrive in their work environment.

  4. Proactive Exit Interviews
    We conducted exit interviews with former employees and temporary staff from other agencies. This provided valuable feedback previously unavailable to the client. It offered deeper insights into why turnover happens. It also allows us to cover communication challenges in the organization. Our approach addressed both technical proficiency and cultural fit. This collaborative effort ensured we overcame the client's workforce challenges. This is how we were able to introduce lasting operational improvements.
