What do I want to change, fix, or improve? What’s the expected/desired outcome?
Holiday help is great, unless you over staff, slash hours and let 70% of the staff go a full month earlier than expected! How could temp hires be treated more fairly during their employment?

Problem solving checklist for hiring temp help:
- HR and Management talk to determine traffic increase for holiday season
- HR and Management agree on the number of temp workers needed to meet demand
- HR hires for the positions and does not speak in absolutes about number of hours or final date of employment
How do I know if it is done right?
Store is staffed appropriately through holiday rush and temp workers released at projected time.
