As the economy begins to stabilize, more and more Woodland employers are turning to temporary staffing to get the help they need, when they need it. As a result, they’re able to avoid being over-staffed during slow times and under-staffed during peak periods. Besides enhancing workforce flexibility, there are several other reasons you might want to consider temporary staffing for your company:

1. Access specialized skills.

Temporary employees are a great way to access the skills you need for a short-term project, without adding to your fixed expenses. In addition, temporary employees who have a specialized skill set are typically less expensive than hiring a consultant.

2. Contain employment costs.

Health insurance, workers’ compensation, and overtime costs continue to rise each year. But you can help mitigate these costs through the use of temporary employees. Because temporary employees are employed by the Woodland temporary staffing agency, you don’t have to worry about processing payroll or administering benefits, nor do you have to worry about unemployment claims.

3. Reduce overtime.

When you have a short-term uptick in business, using temporary employees can help eliminate the need to pay your full-time staff overtime.

4. Reduce the cost of training.

You can cut training costs by bringing in temporary employees who already have the skills and experience you need.

5. Manage uncertainty.

If your business is growing, but you’re uncertain as to whether you’ll be able to sustain that growth, temporary employees can help keep your workforce flexible and allow you to take on new opportunities until your situation stabilizes.

6. Enhance focus.

When you hand-off low priority or mundane tasks to temporary employees, you and your full-time employees can focus on more important tasks, like growing your business.
