Brands Only SIA has operated in the Baltic market since 2003, providing distribution services to major FMCG brands such as P&G, Unilever, JDE, Lavazza, Mondelez and Pepsi. As operations grew, the company faced a shortage of specialised staff — particularly labellers — and high turnover in that area.
The challenge
- High staff turnover among labellers and difficulty finding and retaining specialised staff quickly.
- No immediate replacement when employees left suddenly.
- Operating costs and administrative overload for management and HR.
What we did
- Provided already available, qualified labellers.
- Selected and directed additional staff to the company.
- Developed flexible strategies to meet staffing needs.
- Reduced the administrative burden on the management team and HR department.
The result
More than 3 million stickers applied during the year and over 10 workers placed on a permanent basis. Staffing and recruitment costs fell by 19%, management and HR time spent on staffing fell by 35%, and positions were filled 40% faster.
