What are some common challenges faced by temporary workers in avocado packing and how can they be overcome?

Temporary workers in avocado packing often encounter fast-paced environments where meeting quality standards and production quotas is essential. Adjusting to physically demanding tasks, such as repetitive lifting and sorting, can also be challenging.
