The Advantages of Temp Employment Staffing
It was
often the case twenty five years ago — even fifteen years ago
that temporary or so called temp employees were a quick fix during busy
work months or temporary coverage during illness, vacation or maternity leave.
Today it's safe to say that temps are essential to almost every North American
business or non business organization. Temp workers are now a fixture of
the workplace.
Temp Work Defined
Temporary services, also known as the staffing industry, has evolved into
something much larger than simply standby help for what regular workers did not
want to do . The business of supplying workers for specialized projects has
blossomed into a $65 billion industry.
Why has the
temp industry and the non full time fill in worker become one of the
biggest and most important trends in American business? Simply because the
concept job security and loyalty to your employer no longer exist.
The idea of company loyalty is lost in today's world of downsizing and shedding
non-core competencies to compete in a global marketplace. Since workers no
longer find security in their jobs, they must find it in themselves.
Indeed many workers instead of being grateful for their employment actually hate
and despise their employers and supervisors.
The temporary employment industry gives people the opportunity to use and
improve their skills while moving from job to job.
Why do Companies Depend and Prefer Temporary Employees Rather than Full Timers
It should be obvious why
businesses are so fond of temp workers: Money. Full-time employees mean much
more than salary. The average benefits package equals 30 to 40 percent of an
employee's base income, so using temp workers — who don't get benefits — cuts
company costs drastically. Businesses also save money by not having to train
employees. Temp agencies ensure the workers they send out have the necessary
skills for a particular job. On the legal side, companies who use temps worry
less about wrongful termination and harassment lawsuits. If a temp isn't working
out, a business can fire him and hire a new one.
One downside to disposable employees is
concerns privacy and confidentiality . Leaks regarding sensitive business
material are always a concern. Temps, who lack company loyalty, may be more
prone to disregard confidentially agreements.. One top of that temps have
more of chances to roam and in essence be in a position to spy and tell secrets.
The Pros and Cons of Temporary Staffing
Companies aren't the only ones to benefit from temp work. You
may well be the kind of person who enjoys a flexible schedule and a varied
work environment. Look at temping. It well be the path of
suitable and even performable employment for you. Temporary work allows
you to hone the skills you have — and learn new ones — while earning a wage
that's often comparable or higher to what you'd make as a full-time employee.
And if permanent work is what you're after, there's always the possibility of
landing a full-time job through a temporary assignment.
However, flexibility does have its price. Most temp workers don't get the perks
that come with full-time employment, like health insurance, paid vacations and a
pension plan. (There are some temp agencies, like Wall Street Services and
MacTemps, that offer benefits and training programs to long-term temps.) Temp
workers also risk receiving shoddy treatment from supervisors or full-time
co-workers. It may seem immature, but temps are often viewed as the outsider
who's not sticking around long enough to become part of the group.
What are the types of temporary staffing and how do they fit in ?
The Middle Manager
business models and structures have changed. The role of middle management was to convey information and progress up and down the management structure. Now with rapid communications with the help of computers and fax machines as well as the provision for decision making powers at the front line worker level. The role of middle management has been cut and made redundant and of no use. Many of these middle managers , although legends in their own minds. find themselves out of work , and with few contacts to help them. Indeed here is a trained , expendable person who can be had for much less than the going rate. Not only that when the work is done they can be "kicked out the door".. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
The College Grad
Twenty-something's having a tough time in the job market use temp agencies to
make money and possibly find a job in their field. While agencies like Manpower
deal with a variety of careers, many temp agencies specialize. For example,
LegalTemps places everything from attorneys to file clerks, Accountemps finds
work for finance professionals and TempArt works with illustrators and graphic
designers.
The College Student
Temp agencies are a great way to test out a
career before committing to it. Students also get real-world experience for
their resumes and earn money to help with tuition.
The Retiree
Plenty of retired workers want something to
do with their free time. So why not earn a little cash, too? There's even a temp
agency — Mature Temporaries of Akron, Ohio — that specializes in placing people
who are over 50 into temp positions.
People Whose Family Life or Outside
Interests are of Greater Importance than their Work
Work does not equal Life for
everyone. Temp work allows parents to earn an income but have a schedule that
allows them to be home when their children are home and take family vacations in
accordance to the school calendar. Always remember that different
people will have different priorities and at different times of their lives.
