FIFO workforce
FIFO workforce stands for "Fly-In, Fly-Out," referring to employees who travel to work at remote sites, such as mines or construction locations, for a specific period before returning home. This setup is common in industries where on-site work is far from residential areas. It allows companies to access skilled workers without permanent local housing but requires employees to live temporarily away from their families. FIFO arrangements can provide flexibility and specialized labor to remote projects but also involve logistical, social, and personal considerations for workers and their families.
