Leading and Motivating Transient and Seasonal Workers
Hello and welcome to Episode 304 of the People Powered Business Podcast!
Many rural and regional businesses work with seasonal workers, volunteers and ’88 dayers” - those young international travellers with holiday visa who need to work for 88 days in a rural or regional area in order to have their visa extended. Christmas, school holidays and other occasions mean we are often taking on staff ‘for the season’ wherever we are. In this episode Juliet and Kristy-Lee are talking about some of the challenges and opportunities in leading these people whilst keeping your core team motivated.
Anytime someone joins or leaves our team it has an impact on the culture of the team and seasonal or transient team members can bring strengths and energy or can dislocate a team and throw everything off balance.
We discuss how to bring these people into the team in ways that get the best from them and integrate them into the team as effectively as possible.
Have you had seasonal or transient workers join your team? What was your experience? We’d love to hear!
