Since 2000, temporary staffing at companies across the U.S. has more than doubled – and there are good reasons why. Whether you’re shoring up for a seasonal business rush, are filling upcoming peak vacation vacancies, or are in need of talent for a special project, temporary employees can be the answer to your dilemma. Hiring temps offers many benefits, including the following.
Flexibility
Time is money, and you can’t afford to waste either one. Utilize temporary employees – you can bring on more workers or scale back quickly – in response to changing customer demand.
- Temporary staffers provide you with a chance to evaluate them and their work over a period of time, before committing to a permanent job offer.
- Rather than amassing unnecessary payroll expenses when business is slow, you have no obligation to keep temporary employees on staff once they’re no longer needed.
- If you’re trying to fill a permanent position, temporary staffing can alleviate the urgency. Having a short-term employee in place while you recruit enables you to take your time in finding the right hire.
Cost Control
While the specifics vary from company to company, the process of temporary hiring is almost always more cost effective than making a permanent hire.
- You pay a flat hourly rate to your staffing agency, versus a more costly salary. In addition, employee benefit costs are generally covered by your staffing firm. You may pay for some perks, but your expenditure in this area will be limited.
- Enhance your bottom line. Temporary workers often bring in new skills, concepts and practices that help your company increase efficiency and streamline work processes. They can breathe new life into teams that need innovation or a fresh outlook.
Enhanced Morale
The addition of temporary employees can help elevate the overall mood and atmosphere of a workplace. For instance, if there has been a sudden vacancy and remaining employees are forced to work extra hours as a result, morale can quickly deteriorate. Offering extra help in crunch times ensures that your core team stays motivated, happy and engaged.
- By maintaining healthy staffing levels, you reinforce your commitment to current employees’ well-being. Over the long term, this builds loyalty and retention.
