WorkWhile, the AI staffing service, is now providing full-scale staffing solutions. This development extends its initial on-demand staffing offering. This is also in addition to their Assignment service that they rolled out over a year ago.
This new platform gives enterprise customers access to the workforce pool of WorkWhile. In return, organizations can be assured of workforce reliability and stability. Artificial intelligence can also minimize administrative burden in workforce management.
“Our customers have been impressed with the quality and discipline of our workers and our AI-native workforce management tools, to the point where they pushed our repeat worker rate to over 90% and our average notice time to over 72 hours in one year,” said Benoit Berthoux, Chief Product Officer at WorkWhile. “The expansion of our platform is simply a response to our customers needs and a mechanism to increase their entire workforce productivity with our real world model and agentic workflows.”
How WorkWhile Solutions Mitigate Unforeseen Absences
Unforeseen absences remain an important source of productivity problems in American businesses. According to the CDC Foundation, illness and injuries lead to losses amounting to $225.8 billion annually from costs borne by organizations. For this reason, WorkWhile utilizes its AI-based workforce management solution to address such unforeseen absences. It is able to fill available full-time positions through on-demand employees through the use of real-world AI algorithms employed in its scheduling solution. In this way, the productivity losses caused by unforeseen absences can be mitigated.
Early deployments have been yielding encouraging results for the firm in the warehousing industry. WorkWhile reports that its AI-native system has reduced unexpected absences by more than half. According to a 2023 Harvard paper, call-outs were measured at 9.7%. Others have found out that call-outs after 24-hour notification are 6.2% and 6.5%. However, early adoption of the WorkWhile Staffing Solution has been associated with call-outs of less than 3%.
Some of the other benefits of the extended staffing solution are the following. WorkWhile will continue acting as the Employer of Record for its staff. Organizations can choose to keep their continuous coverage using the vetted workforce of WorkWhile. Each of the core positions will have automatic backup by the on-demand workforce of the organization.
Additionally, firms will benefit from net 30 payment terms. This means that workers will receive their wages on time, without fees and without interest through WorkWhile.
Moreover, there is the automation of scheduling through the built-in AI technology of WorkWhile. This implies that there will be a reduction in the cost of overtime premiums and administration costs.
Stable Hourly Employment Using AI
In the new model, hourly employees are provided with flexibility and better financial stability. Employees get paid on a daily basis and have flexibility in scheduling. Additionally, they are provided with long-term job opportunities.
“Overtime has been a significant financial burden on companies and a drain on workers’ health and family commitments,” said Simon Khalaf, WorkWhile CEO. “The time for manual overtime calculations is over. In the age of AI, this is the minimum agents should fix for the labor market.”
The staffing solution is now fully available within the industries served by WorkWhile. The industries that will be targeted include warehousing, light industry, logistics, hospitality, and food manufacturing. The prices will be determined by the company, while the worker accepts the offered rate. In the meantime, WorkWhile still acts as the Employer of Record.
