People are Quitting Their Jobs at Record Rates

Of all the people who were separated from their jobs in June 2021 over 69% of them left their jobs voluntarily.  There are many reasons why voluntary separations are on the rise: including opportunities for better pay, a desire to continue working remotely, or employees are rethinking their life choices and priorities after the disrupted they experienced in the pandemic. 

Employees who were mildly dissatisfied with their jobs before, are now finding more reasons, and more opportunities, to make a change for the better. 

As an Employer, You Pay the Price for These Separations 

The employment change may be better for the employee, as an individual, but from your standpoint it’s extremely disruptive when any of your staff quits their jobs. These sudden departures can leave gaping holes in your teams, and each departing employee take valuable knowledge and expertise with them.  Your firm may have invested thousands of dollars in your human resources and losing even one or two employees can have a disastrous impact on your production or output.

Protect Valuable Assets

You many have spent thousands of dollars to recruit, test, select, hire, and train a new employee. Doesn't it seem prudent to protect these valuable business assets from Heat Illness. On the job injuries are even more costly than having an employee quit, so keeping your entire workforce safe from heat injuries is just good business, plus it demonstrates to the employees that their safety is your top priority.

Monitor Heat Index

The most efficient way to monitor the heat index (not just the air temperature but the temperature combined with humidity) is to install a HeatAlert™ Monitoring Station in every work zone.  They keep working around the clock, day-in and day-out provide an accurate timely warning to all staff if the heat index poses a moderate or dangerous risk. The employees are warned, and the monitoring station sends an email to the supervisor so they can ensure that all employees are following your standard procedures to manage excessive heat. The supervisor can monitor your employees for signs of heat illness and reiterate the need for water, shade, rest, and candid communication.
