A Flexible Solution By Ellie Mahon – Senior Temporaries Consultant – Cheltenham
There’s a common misconception that hiring temporary staff is more costly than bringing on full-time employees. However, we’d like to argue the opposite, here’s why.
1. Flexibility
Temporary staffing offers a dynamic solution for businesses that don’t require year-round support. This flexibility allows you to manage costs effectively by adjusting your workforce based on fluctuating demands. Rather than committing to a permanent hire during peak seasons, you can easily enlist reliable and experienced temporary staff to cover busy shifts.
2. Same Total Weekly Costs
One of the cost-effective advantages of temporary staff is that while employers might have to provide benefits such as workers’ compensation and overtime pay, you can avoid expenses related to medical/dental benefits, sick pay, retirement, and other income security benefits associated with full-time or part-time employees.
3. Temp-to-Perm
Last but not least, using temps is a way for you to try before you buy.
Many temps are open to a permanent position, so if you find someone that suits your business needs there is always the opportunity for you to offer that person a permanent role.
This feature proves especially valuable in highly skilled positions where employers need to assess a candidate’s knowledge and experience thoroughly to do a particular job.
In conclusion, whether your business requires coverage during seasonal sales, holiday periods, promotions, sickness, or unforeseen staff shortages, temporary staffing emerges as the most cost-effective solution.
