Even before COVID-19, the process for hiring hourly employees was fundamentally flawed. The pandemic simply exposed the cracks in a strained system that was on the verge of crumbling anyway. Reactionary “solutions” were rushed onto the market, but they created more problems than they solved. We've now reached an unprecedented crisis point.

In Hourly, author AJ Richichi outlines how widescale change is attainable, but only if we move past common misconceptions, acknowledge the severity of the problem, and consider alternative solutions. Solutions must improve the situation for hourly workers, ease the pressure on hiring managers, and benefit employers’ bottom lines.

The book includes a section of case studies from companies that have achieved positive results by instituting policies that humanize and support their hourly workers, like granting stock options, paying for college, or offering daily pay. These serve as prime examples of what businesses can do to improve their employees' lives while boosting profitability.

Hourly issues a clear call to action: businesses must view hourly staff as critical to their operations and invest in their well-being. It’s more than just the right thing to do. It makes good business sense as well. By implementing the book’s lessons, companies can build their own efficiency while supporting the hourly workforce powering our economy, creating a better future for all.
