One of the biggest problems fulfillment organizations face is attracting and retaining workers. Turnover is notoriously high, and, like with any job, new employees need time to get up to speed on their responsibilities, which can take a toll on the overall efficiency of a warehouse.<\/p>\n
Today’s fulfillment organizations are looking for ways to enhance worker productivity and reduce problems associated with turnover, including worker injuries, mistakes, and higher costs. One such method is labor standards.<\/p>\n
Setting labor standards helps warehouses root out inefficiencies and set baseline expectations with their teams. Over time, labor standards can reduce workplace injuries and decrease errors that harm a fulfillment center’s reputation.<\/p>\n

In the context of warehousing and fulfillment, a labor standard refers to the time it takes a trained employee putting in average effort under normal operating conditions to complete a specific task. Labor standards are critical to fulfillment organizations since they provide a benchmark to evaluate worker efficiency.<\/p>\n
