Customized solutions
LaCosta provides customized programs supported by specialized training, so you can be sure the solution is right for your needs.

Whether your organization specializes in pharmaceuticals, food processing, printing, manufacturing, or any other area, LaCosta has a solution for you. Our trained staff work side by side with your personnel on a production line – or take over part or the entire production line. We offer you flexibility!

We hire, train and insure professional labor…so you don't have to
LaCosta relieves you of screening, recruiting, training, providing benefits, general liability and workman's compensation insurance, accident reporting and timekeeping. You only pay for our personnel's time!

Management support
While you can be in full control of managing our personnel and setting their schedules, we offer support by assigning a LaCosta manager to work with you on-site. The manager ensures that our staff is carrying out your requirements properly.

We also help you optimize your work flow and create more efficient processes with our solutions-based management methodology. With this methodology, we help you utilize your in-house resources to their best ability while putting efficient supplemental staffing strategies in place to insure your goals are met.

Setup and needs assessment
At the beginning of every staffing assignment, we consult with you to evaluate your requirements. Job setup follows these consistent steps, so we can be sure your needs are met:

• Identify the scope of the project
• Identify your requirements and expectations, including any safety requirements
• Assemble the appropriate people (both staff and management)
• Assemble proper materials and equipment if applicable
• Develop a job description
• Train staff according to skill level needed & test
• Establish communication methods and reporting procedures between the client and the team
• Conduct continuous training and follow-up to ensure a job well done

A highly qualified staff
LaCosta conducts highly demanding recruiting and screening processes to ensure the employment of qualified professionals. Every LaCosta staff member undergoes LaCosta's own screening process, communication level assessment tests, skills assessment and job matching tests, and face-to-face interviews.

We hire motivated, bright personnel, many of whom possess multi-lingual skills. We keep our employees motivated and encourage longevity with our company by offering career advancement opportunities, incentives, and awards programs based on performance.

Leading-edge tools to automate labor management
Automated systems help put effective staffing programs in place, ensure that personnel are always on the job, and match personnel to projects. Our automated tools include:

• Labor Management Tool: a LaCosta-designed management system that helps us schedule and track a team for you
• Tele-Team: an automated personnel tracking system that tracks time and attendance, and allows allocation of resources from a trained on-call floater pool when necessary
• LaCosta EDI: a cost-efficient electronic invoicing system
• Performance & Evaluation System: a tool that matches individuals to projects and helps "re-engineer" skill-sets to insure your goals are met

Training in a wide variety of areas
We train individuals in a broad spectrum of areas to provide customized staffing solutions for you. We then conduct custom training based on your facility's needs and have a regular program of re-training.

Each staff member first completes our training orientation. Upon completion, they receive specialized training depending on their area of skill whether it be fork truck driving, production line technician, co-packaging, inventory control, shipping & receiving, SAP, and much more. We then conduct custom training based on your facility’s needs and have a regular program of re-training.

Safety training and practice
Every LaCosta professional is trained to follow your facility's safety procedures, including the use of personal protective equipment, hazardous communication, and the proper reporting of accidents and proper material use.

We employ strict safety standards at LaCosta. Due to our rigorous standards, as well as our zero lost time policy and light duty policies, we possess one of the industry's best safety records.

Our staffing solutions work because we work with you to provide trained resources for flexible solutions. To meet your needs, we employ a variety of customer service tools and practices including flexible staffing (including any shift and weekend hours), on-site LaCosta managers, a customer service phone line, a 24-hour paging system and hotline, and value analysis programs.
