Juices’ Senior Temporaries Consultant, Ellie Mahon, looks at how temporary support can provide great flexibility ensuring businesses can thrive in changeable times.
Whether you’re looking to navigate times of change and transition, or you are simply looking to guide your business in a new and exciting direction, temporary staff can provide a great solution. This has never been more true in the past few years, where temporary staff have played a vital role in allowing organisations to meet market demands.
Most business owners and leaders always plan for the future, but we can never be prepared for those unexpected deviations from our plans and this is where temporary support can help.
It could be that all new, exciting piece of business, or an extra pair of hands needed to keep up with rising demand.
Whatever the circumstances, here are 5 reasons why hiring temporary staff can help you reduce the impact of curveballs and help your business to thrive.
1. It’s Cost Effective…
Employing temporary staff means that your only costs are a pre agreed hourly rate. Payroll, National Insurance Contributions, Pensions and Holiday are all handled by your recruitment partner, meaning that you only need to sign a timesheet at the end of each week!
2. It’s Efficient…
The process for hiring temporary staff is much quicker. References are on hand and no notice periods need to be observed. Whether you need cover for just a day, or a more extended project, we can match someone to your specific needs quickly and efficiently.
3. It Provides Instant Impact…
As temporary staff are hired for a particular purpose, they typically do not need to spend weeks familiarising themselves with the working environment or undergo long periods of training. Their sole remit is to add value to your business by undertaking a specific activity that they can pick up and run with from the moment they walk through the door.
4. It Creates A New Perspective…
Sometimes it just needs one outsider with a fresh pair of eyes to completely change how a process or business operates. The more temporary support you hire, the more opportunities there are to breathe some fresh new perspective into your business.
5. And Provides You With Flexibility!
Perhaps the single most recognised benefit of hiring temporary support is that they are flexible. They allow you to react to business or market needs as they happen. They can also help to establish whether your short term need is a long term requirement.
And most importantly… if you like your new recruit and have a long term requirement, this could be the best working interview ever, to ensure you have the right person for your position!
