From training to transportation, our supported workforce comes with everything you need to successfully complete the job. We handle the logistics to give our customers highly motivated, reliable teams that get the work done. It’s a unique approach to temporary staffing that benefits everyone involved. Here’s how it works.
We hire full-time, permanent workers both directly and through community partnerships. Each person undergoes drug testing and background check before being matched with a job that fits their interests and abilities. Currently, our workforce numbers 250 people and growing.
DLS supervisors have more than 40 years of experience in the packaging and light manufacturing industries, so our teams receive specialized training at our 25,000-square-foot onsite production facility before they’re placed on the job. This hands-on preparation builds on the workforce fundamentals our employees have learned through partner programs, where adults with disabilities develop valuable life skills and New Americans receive English language classes and cultural assimilation mentorship.
The first part of doing any job well is showing up. We make sure each employee has a reliable plan to arrive for their shift on time, every time, whether it’s helping to navigate bus routes, ridesharing, or arranging for a transportation service to pick up and drop off employees at your job site. If extenuating circumstances mean someone isn’t able to report for a shift, we will bring in someone else to fill their spot immediately.
Fully trained and seasoned supervisory staff accompany every DLS team to your worksite. They are there to help our employees understand the assignment, maximize their skillset, and stay focused for the duration of their shift. Any issues that may arise are on us, not you.
We have teams who are ready to work on-site at your location and others available to do specialized piece work at our 25,000-square-foot manufacturing facility located in Tri-Main Center in the City of Buffalo.
DLS teams are on-call to help you handle unexpected production spikes or seasonal increases in work orders. We can provide teams of various sizes, adapt to many different work environments, and re-map workflows as needed if it will result in better efficiency for our customers.
The reliability we provide makes our teams priceless! Our labor costs are comparable to other local temporary workforce providers, but we can also specify fixed unit costs for any packaging requirement, so you will know exactly what our costs are before we start the job.
DLS employees give their all every day. They are motivated by a sense of purpose and the pride of an earned paycheck, both of which lead to future employment and self-sufficiency. Their consistent focus, dedication, and resulting productivity, is unique to our teams.
