EGGER Holzwerkstoffe optimises use of temporary workers at its Wismar plant

EGGER Holzwerkstoffe in Wismar is a company belonging to the EGGER Group, which is based in Austria and has six German sites in North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Approximately 900 employees work at the Wismar site. In order to attract new employees and respond flexibly to peaks in orders, the company employs a large number of temporary workers.

By using temporary workers, the HR department can make the employee recruitment process more efficient. This allows temporary workers to get an accurate picture of their future workplace and the corporate culture before they are potentially hired, which helps to avoid disappointment later on due to false expectations.

Jürgen Buck, Head of Purchasing and member of the management board at EGGER Holzwerkstoffe Wismar GmbH & Co. KG, commissioned Karsten Schachne, partner at ERA Group, with the following key objectives:

• Ensuring the recruitment of workers and skilled personnel to fill vacant positions or vacancies at short notice in a regional labour market that is already very tight
• Increasing transparency and further improving cooperation with the existing master vendor
• Reviewing the overall significant cost block for optimisation potential
