Need For Temp Workers Is Greater Among Snack Companies In Time Of Coronavirus

December 1, 2020: 12:00 AM EST

In the U.K. and elsewhere, snack makers often ramp up hiring of flexible and temporary workers to keep up with a holiday swelling of demand. But the waves of coronavirus surges, leaving holes in permanent employee rolls, have added to the pressure this year, in fact “stretching the industry to its limits,” according to a representative of Redwigwam, a flexible working community. Snack maker Burton’s Biscuit Co. is one of the companies that hired Redwigwam to boost its workforce to cope with the seasonal demand, but also to help launch a new variant of its Wagon Wheel biscuits. Likewise, London-based healthy snacks producer Proper Snacks bas been working with Redwigwam for more than a year to fill jobs like ensuring correct setup of physical stock and visiting stores to ensure the best presentation of products.
