Top Skills of the Best Warehouse Employees

Post by:The Reserves Network May 19, 2016

The right warehouse candidates can be the difference between a well-oiled machine and a rusty old factory. In a labor intensive field, your light industrial candidates are your ultimate human capital. Without a talented team, the warehouse won’t function. So what exactly should you be looking for when hiring a warehouse employee?

Dependability

The number one trait of top warehouse employees is dependability. If a warehouse candidate has a proven track record of great attendance and a diligent work-ethic, then that is a great indication that they will produce for your company. Someone who is dependable has a propensity towards proper professional ethics as well. A dependable employee will be less likely to be found socializing during their shift, not giving a proper two week notice, goofing off and endangering their coworkers, etc.

Flexibility

Warehouse environments can be vastly different and ever changing. Depending on the type of work, location or staff constraints, a warehouse hire could be required to work cross department, in extreme temperatures, or have flexible hours to fit the needs of your company. This requires not only the ability to handle a flexible work environment, but more importantly the willingness as well.

Look for candidates with diverse experience and a can-do attitude.

Communication & Listening

In a warehouse, communication is imperative. One wrong move can ruin a load of materials or create a hazardous situation. Be certain that your top warehousing candidates have exception written and verbal communication skills. This will ensure that they will be able to take and give instructions for safe and efficient work.

Decisiveness

When you are a part of a working factory, it’s important to be able to make decisions efficiently and effectively. Employees that can implement great critical thinking and problem solving skills to come to a quick and comprehensive decision are a terrific asset in a warehouse. Look for candidates that exude the capabilities and confidence of an effective decision maker.
