If your business relies on additional staff at different times of the year, you’ll know how important it is that the quality of service and performance doesn’t drop off when your staffing needs fluctuate.  \nSeasonal work can sometimes be thought of simply as a temporary stop-gap. But the fact is, a successful and stable business needs an engaged, reliable and growth-oriented workforce, whether temporary or permanent.  \nThis is why it’s important to pay attention to the employee lifecycle for seasonal workers, just as you do for your full-time employees. For your seasonal employees to deliver great service, they’ll need efficient onboarding, thorough training, and an engaging overall employee experience. As short as the season might be, investing in your seasonal employees is sure to pay off.  \nWhy the Seasonal Employee Lifecycle Matters  \nThe employee lifecycle is a model for understanding and managing the employee journey from start to finish, and beyond. The employee lifecycle commonly consists of the following stages:  \n• Attraction: When the company’s branding first captures the attention of potential employees.  \n• Recruitment: Converting leads into candidates, applicants, and eventually employees.  \n• Onboarding: When the new staff settle in, find their feet, and learn how your company operates.  \n• Retention and engagement: Providing an employee experience that keeps talent onboard.  \n• Development and performance: How the company cultivates employee growth, skills, and career advancement.  \n• Offboarding: When the company and the employee go their separate ways.  \nThe employee lifecycle is useful in helping HR teams monitor and measure the employee experience and target their people processes effectively. With short-term and seasonal employment, some stages might initially seem less relevant. For example, if employees are on a fixed seasonal contract, is there a need to focus on retention?  \n  Lifecycle Management for Seasonal Employees 2  \nHowever, even short-term employment progresses from start to finish, and there are numerous benefits to taking a lifecycle approach with your seasonal employees:  \n• Engaged employees tend to be more productive and profitable.  \n• Digitized administration can speed up the onboarding process for seasonal employees.  \n• Rapid onboarding and training improve time-to-productivity, which is especially important for short-term workers.  \n• A great employee experience and quality offboarding can encourage seasonal staff to return next year, making recruiting and onboarding easier for the company.  \nCompanies who hire seasonal employees often concentrate on the recruitment stage—simply getting more people on board to meet the demand of the busy season. However, you need to widen the lens to look at their whole employee lifecycle to keep them onboard, to ensure they are engaged high-performers, and to reduce the need to start from scratch every year.  \nThis workbook will help your HR team build effective people strategies to get the best out of their seasonal employees. We’ll walk you through how to adapt the employee lifecycle for seasonal workers so you can:  \n• Help seasonal employees feel connected to their workplace and to their coworkers  \n• Motivate high-performing seasonal employees to consider returning.  \n• Recognize and reward seasonal workers, who are navigating a lot of new info, new people, and new environments simultaneously.  \n• Wrap up your seasonal workers’ employment experience with consistency, professionalism, and meaningful feedback for employees and employers.  \n  Lifecycle Management for Seasonal Employees 3  \nStage 1: Onboarding  \nOnboarding—the process of helping your new employees settle in, learn the ropes, get up to speed, and become a part of the team—is often skimmed over, ev","cbCaikCQy1gyQ5z8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikCQy1gyQ5z8","pdf",205854,19,"English","# Why the Seasonal Employee Lifecycle Matters\n# Stage 1: Onboarding\n## Onboarding Administration\n## Exercise 1: Get a head start on onboarding\n## Checklist: Pre-boarding and Onboarding Seasonal Employees","[{\"question\":\"Why is the seasonal employee lifecycle important for businesses?\",\"answer\":\"A lifecycle approach helps maintain service quality and engagement despite fluctuating staffing needs.
