With the growth of many workforce development options, expanding your team no longer needs to mean long-term commitments or financial strain. Offering flexibility, cost-savings, and a faster hiring process, temporary labor has become an ideal solution for businesses experiencing fluctuating workloads. Utilizing temporary staffing can be a catalyst for strategically scaling your workforce, offering these key benefits:
Hiring flexibility.
As workforce demands change frequently, many companies are skeptical about hiring an excess of full-time employees. Fortunately, temporary labor allows employers of all sizes to strategically scale their workforce without investing in a full-fledged team. Temporary staffing can be a highly effective solution for achieving greater hiring flexibility, allowing companies to hire supplemental staff according to specific job functions and schedules. For instance, some companies may opt to use temporary staffing only during their busiest times of the year while others may hire temporary labor strictly to fulfill short-term or contractor positions.
Long-term cost-savings.
Hiring temporary staff can result in major long-term cost-savings for your company for many reasons. First, hiring temp employees eliminates the need to cover salaries and benefits of full-time employees. Over time, this can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars saved – which is money that can be used for other functions at your company, such as onboarding or training programs. Second, temporary staffing can reduce expenses associated with employee turnover for a couple of reasons. Often full-time staff feel more supported in their roles with the addition of temp workers, which results in greater job satisfaction and less employees quitting, as well as less time and money spent on staff recruitment.
Faster hiring.
For companies that have constantly evolving needs, expedited hiring is essential for operations and management. Temporary staffing allows for new employees to be secured quickly, with minimal onboarding, training and oversight. This can be instrumental in ensuring vacancies and critical roles are filled promptly, keeping productivity levels high and maintaining proper staffing protocols (especially for manufacturing or industrial facilities that must adhere to onsite safety guidelines). When companies work with temporary staffing firms, they gain access to a constant pipeline of qualified temporary labor throughout the year.
From better operational efficiencies to an improved bottom line, these are some of the most compelling reasons why a temporary staffing model can be an asset to many employers that need to scale their workforce while keeping overhead costs in check.
