In today’s ever-evolving market, flexibility and adaptability are essential for business survival, a great strategy for this being the use of temps. Leveraging different working styles and skills can offer a game changing competitive edge for your business, so let’s dive into some of the ways our clients use our trusted workers.
Not to state the obvious, but FLEXIBILITY:
This is the primary advantage of using temps. It allows businesses to scale up or down during seasonal demands, tackle any urgent projects or cover staff absences. This way you always have the exact number of staff needed to meet your current needs, without any long-term commitments.
Cost-effectiveness:
Hiring temps can actually turn out to be a lot more cost-effective than permanent hires. This can be seen when it comes to staff payments and benefits, anything from paid time off to redundancy payments. As well as this, an excellent recruitment agency (hint hint) will handle all of the recruitment, screening and payroll processes, in turn reducing administrative costs and time (and we all know that time is $$).
Access to new and specialised skills for your business:
Whether you need experience in the industry or someone with niche technical skills for a specific project, temps are able to fill in any gap your business may have. Access to casual workers allows your business to maintain a high standard of work without the need to spend time training.
Reduced hiring time:
The process of hiring a permanent employee can often take weeks or even months. In contrast, engaging a great recruitment agency 🙂 means you will receive the candidate you need in a matter of days, or even hours, with little disruption to your business.
Trial for permanent hires:
Another way you can utilise a temporary hire could be to take the time you need to assess a new position or employee before without going through the cost and compliance administration of a perm. It can reduce the risk of bad hires and ensures you potential new employee aligns with the company.
Minimise burnout for your staff:
With another pair of hands to share the workload during busy periods, you can minimise the risk of burnout and decreased productivity. Instead you could utilise extra support to assist in keeping the company’s positive culture and reduce the risk of high turnover
Since you’re still here, I’m guessing you might be considering whether a temp could actually be useful for your business. Give us a call on 1300 923 000 and voice your thoughts to one of our friendly consultants!
