All organisations experience annual phases when extra help is needed in order to complete a large project or meet increased service demands. More often than not, a company’s solution to a growing workload is to push current staff harder and compensate them with overtime hours. Considering the time and money it takes to bring on a new team member, it’s a commonly held belief that conserving these resources is more beneficial overall.
It turns out that the cost of hiring a skilled temporary employee to help you out during peak times is rarely more than increasing the number of hours for your current staff. Once you’ve factored in statutory taxes, benefits costs and personnel administration expenses, the cost of your full-time employees far exceeds the amount you’d spend bringing in someone short term.
Moreover, the benefits of using temporary employees extend far beyond just the financial savings. Let’s consider what else your organisation will gain from temporary staff.
Consulting with a staffing agency allows you to select temporary professionals with the exact skill set(s) that you need to accomplish your organisation’s specific goals. Temporary staffing and recruitment firms specialise in matching skilled professionals to an organisation’s needs. While often a full-time employee is required to possess a broader set of abilities, a temporary employee can be a specialist in one particular field.
