Have high turnover rates in recent months sent your company into a downward spiral? It doesn’t take long for unexpected vacancies and poor retention to cripple productivity, hindering your company’s workflow. In fact, Workday Hiring Trends Report recently indicated several reasons for declining turnover, such as job burnout and stagnant internal mobility. With retention continuing to be an ongoing issue globally, many employers must consider new staffing options to keep their organizations afloat during times of transition.
Fortunately, temporary staffing can offer a highly viable solution for employers struggling to keep up with workforce demands. Here are some of the most notable ways in which temporary staffing can provide a major source of relief for your organization:
Scaling your workforce quickly.
When minor or major staffing gaps arise, a workforce deficit can often make or break your company’s performance. A temporary staffing model can scale your workforce quickly, ensuring the proper staff to hit the ground running. Whether your company is launching a new product or simply needs to function at a higher level, temporary workers can be hired at short notice and provide the necessary skills and expertise. Because of the fast-paced nature of temp staffing, employers can count on talent 24/7, without any noticeable disruption to operations or management.
Supporting full-time staff.
Many people underestimate the immense support temporary workers can provide full-time staff. Temporary staff often work in tandem with full-time employees, providing supplemental labor and assistance with both short-term and long-term projects. Once temp workers receive some preliminary training and get up to speed, they can usually play a critical role in maintaining stability within your organization and improving productivity. Implementing internal initiatives that encourage full-time and temporary staff to work together can be one of the most powerful steps for creating greater synergies among your entire team. Some of these initiatives may include mentorship programs or team-based activities, as well as establishing clear expectations for every member of your staff. Dis
Discovering top talent.
It may surprise you that one of the most effective ways to improve hiring outcomes is to utilize temporary staff. In many cases, a temporary staffing model provides the opportunity to assess candidates before potentially offering them for permanent roles within your company. As temporary staff fulfill their contracts, you’ll be able to evaluate their performance and see firsthand how well they complete tasks and manage their time. Most importantly, you’ll get a sense of their personality and whether they’re a fit for your workplace culture. It’s not uncommon for employers to use temporary staffing to discover top talent for future positions, streamlining the recruitment process and reducing hiring costs.
By introducing temporary staffing to your organization, you can reverse the negative effects of turnover while enhancing your team for years to come.
