Fulfilling Holiday Cheer: Radial Fulfillment Center in Buford, Georgia, Bringing on 196 Workers

BUFORD, Ga., Nov. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Radial, a bpost group company, today announced its plan to bring on an additional 196 workers in Buford, Georgia to support the increased demand during the upcoming holiday season.

Consumers are dramatically increasing their online spending, with a recent study from Radial finding the number of U.S. shoppers who reported purchasing at least $100 of goods per month online jumped this year to 59.8 percent. Given the rise of ecommerce, there are now well over one million warehouse workers fulfilling online orders in the U.S., according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Job opportunity in this sector has skyrocketed, with an eighty seven percent increase in available jobs since 2009 and a five percent increase from 2018 levels.

With this demand for fulfillment talent growing increasingly competitive, Radial differentiates itself through its commitment to a positive work environment. Seasonal workers enjoy the benefits of competitive hourly wages, opportunities for overtime, and on-the-job training in a clean and safe work environment where treating workers with respect is Radial's number one priority. The fulfillment center in Buford also provides regular awards and recognitions, charity bake and product sales, and fun events like "Food Truck Fridays" and associate appreciation breakfasts, giving workers a chance to unwind while at work.

"Our team of fulfillment associates works behind the scenes to ensure every order runs seamlessly, even during the busy holiday season," said Andrea Crawford, Senior Manager, Contingent Labor Program at Radial. "We're thrilled to be creating so many additional jobs in Buford and are excited to welcome back the seasonal workers who return each year."
