A big part of workforce productivity is flexibility. In light industrial and administrative roles, temporary staffing can offer the flexible solutions you need to keep your business running smoothly and seamlessly, regardless of fluctuations in seasonal or other customer demands.
Here are some ways temporary staffing can help your business build ongoing flexibility:
More Effective Workload Management
If your current team is spending too much time on routine administrative tasks, consider hiring temporary workers to handle these responsibilities. This way, your core staff can devote their time to more business-critical activities.
Successful Management of Business Growth
If your company is growing, you want to ensure that that growth is sustainable before you commit to hiring a significant number of permanent staff members. By hiring temporary staff, you can “try before you buy” and either let them go without any financial risk at the end of their tenure, or hire them full-time if it fits your needs.
Burnout Prevention
The problem is all too real. According to one recent survey, 77 percent of employees have experienced burnout symptoms at work. Overworking your existing employees can cause burnout and a related drop in productivity. It may even lead to top talent seeking jobs elsewhere. You can utilize temporary workers to give your current staff much-needed time off so they can maintain their work/life balance. It boosts your bottom line, too, as you steer clear of overtime costs.
Shorter Time to Hire
Hiring the right employees can take an enormous amount of time as your team places ads, sifts through resumes, sets up interviews, screens, and completes the myriad tasks associated with sourcing and recruitment. When you work with a temporary agency, all these tasks are eliminated. Let your agency tap into their network of pre-qualified candidates and fill your critical openings, sometimes as soon as the next business day.
Ready Access to Specialized Skills
If you need an administrative or light industrial worker with specialized skills that may currently be lacking on your permanent team, your staffing firm may likely have access to those capabilities. You can feel confident that your business is getting the best possible hire, often one who can lend this unique expertise to your existing team so they benefit from related knowledge and experience.
Minimization of Bad Hires
Bad hires—new employees who don’t work out for various reasons and need to be terminated shortly after they join your team—are unfortunate and painful. They happen to even the best of companies. But because of staffing companies’ extensive screening and hiring experience, working with such a business partner helps ensure that you will steer clear of such mis-hires and the related costs, stress, and headache.
