On-Site Coordinator 

In the industrial sector, change is constant. But when that change comes in the form of a workforce transfer, it represents operational risk. The real challenge often isn&rsquo;t finding temporary staff &ndash; it&rsquo;s making sure they stick around during transitions, where even small disruptions can ripple quickly through team stability, affecting productivity and morale. In this month&rsquo;s #ItJustWorks, we&rsquo;re taking a look at workforce transfers and how a bit of forward planning can stop the chaos before it starts.
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Workforce transfers gone wrong</h2>
When agencies change, whether it&rsquo;s a shift to a master vendor or a full workforce transfer to a new provider, it&rsquo;s rarely just a uniform swap. We&rsquo;ve heard it all &ndash; contract confusion, emails landing in the wrong inbox, and nobody seeming to know who&rsquo;s running the show. And once that uncertainty creeps in, it spreads fast. Left to chance, a handover that should be smooth sailing can quickly turn into a game of whack-a-mole, with a side of absenteeism and low engagement.
<h2 class="MsoNormal">A little planning goes a long way</h2>
A successful workforce transfer is about far more than a quick switch of agency partners. Getting ahead of the game isn&rsquo;t just good practice; it&rsquo;s essential for keeping operations on track, protecting productivity, and making sure everyone knows what&rsquo;s happening well before the changeover. Being upfront with staff removes guesswork early, helping teams stay focused and keeping day-to-day output steady.
And yes, the paperwork side matters too. Proper attention to TUPE and employment rules keeps everyone out of hot water long after the transfer is complete. Get it right, and your temporary staff stay happy, operations keep moving smoothly, and the potential for panic doesn&rsquo;t even get a look in &ndash; supporting retention, compliance, and long-term stability in the process.
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Making transfers work for you</h2>
At gap personnel, we stay close to the operation during transfers, supporting staff on the ground and checking in regularly so clients always have a clear view of how things are progressing. We focus on what matters to people on the front line, clarifying next steps and taking a consultative approach by holding regular conversations with workers so they feel supported, not passed along, and understand exactly what to expect.
Supported by our dedicated HR and compliance specialists throughout, our hands-on approach combined with in-depth knowledge of the industrial sector ensures the right processes are in place, paperwork is handled properly, and nothing is left to chance. The result? A seamless handover, minimal disruption to exiting colleagues, and teams working together effectively from day one.
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Preparation that pays off - every time</h2>
Workforce transfers don&rsquo;t have to be a headache. With the right preparation, clear communication, and a supportive mindset, temporary staff stay happy, day-to-day performance continues without interruption, and everyone knows where they stand. It&rsquo;s far easier to prevent problems than tackle them as they come &ndash; which is exactly why, with gap personnel, #ItJustWorks.
Planning a workforce transfer? We&rsquo;d be happy to help. <a href="https://www.gap-personnel.com/employers-get-in-touch/">Get in touch with our team to find out more.</a>

How not to lose your team (or your head) during a workforce transfer

In busy industrial environments, productivity is everything. So when it dips, or <a href="https://www.gap-personnel.com/employers-news/battling-attrition-how-to-keep-your-workforce-engaged-during-peak/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">turnover</a> creeps up, it&rsquo;s hard to miss. And the question on everyone&rsquo;s mind is usually the same: what&rsquo;s actually causing it?
We see it all too often, recruitment agencies or businesses focus on filling shifts quickly rather than matching people to the reality of the role. When that happens, the impact is felt on the shop floor, where small delays stack up and momentum is ultimately lost. Yikes.
<h2 class="MsoNormal">The trouble with "that'll do" staffing (spoiler: it rarely&nbsp;does)</h2>
Industrial roles aren&rsquo;t necessarily interchangeable, even if they look similar on paper. Pace, physical demands, working conditions, and repetition &ndash; they all play a part, and not everyone responds to those pressures in the same way.
Choosing whoever is available, instead of who is right, rarely goes well onsite. The result? High turnover and low productivity &ndash; we&rsquo;ll lay off on the &ldquo;I told you so&rdquo; moments whilst you try not facepalm too hard.
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Where speed thrills, but understanding kills... turnover</h2>
This is where a recruitment agency that truly understands your needs makes all the difference. By taking the time to learn how an operation works, what each role demands, and who is most likely to succeed, the right candidates are placed faster, perform better, and stick around longer.
Knowing your operation and the role like the back of their hand means your recruitment partner can put the right person in the right place &ndash; and that person hits the ground running from day one. Fewer leavers, faster output. In short, a win-win all round.
<h2 class="MsoNormal">What gap personnel does differently</h2>
At gap personnel, recruitment starts with listening. As a specialist industrial recruitment agency focused on industrial recruitment, we invest time in understanding tempo, pressures, and culture before putting candidates forward.
Once we know what makes your operation tick, robust candidate screening ensures suitability always comes first &ndash; but we do it at scale. This means we can supply skilled temporary staff in the numbers you need, without ever resorting to a &ldquo;bums on seats&rdquo; approach.
But we can only do so much on our own. The best candidates want more than a job &ndash; they want a quality placement with a quality employer. That&rsquo;s why we work with you to make sure people want to work for you, whether it&rsquo;s highlighting perks, showcasing growth opportunities, or simply telling your story. The goal? Making your business a place people are excited to join.
<h2 class="MsoNormal">A workforce that works, for results that count</h2>
When the right recruitment partner is doing the right things, the results aren&rsquo;t necessarily dramatic. But they are noticeable. People settle in quicker. Teams don&rsquo;t feel like they&rsquo;re constantly starting over. Managers stop spinning plates and can get back to running the operation.
By delivering both volume and quality, tailored recruitment isn&rsquo;t just a process. It keeps your operation running smoothly and your teams performing at their best. That&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;re trusted across the UK to provide industrial staffing that genuinely works.
<h2 class="MsoNormal">It just... works (and that's no accident)</h2>
Recruitment shouldn&rsquo;t feel like a compromise. A recruitment agency that invests time to understand your culture and expectations delivers something far more valuable than a quick fix &ndash; it creates a stable, skilled, and scalable workforce that keeps your operation running smoothly and your teams performing at their best. And we think that just works far better than any quick fix or rushed hire.
