What are the benefits of a Temporary workforce?

With a growing number of businesses reconsidering how they structure their teams going forward, there’s never been a better time to consider what are the benefits of a temporary workforce. 

Whether you run a small company or a national chain, there are many benefits of a temporary workforce – not just financially, but in terms of time, risk and adaptability too.

Here are just a few of the ways that clients of AGS Support Services are reaping the rewards of temporary contractors.

Reduce Your Admin Time And Costs

By outsourcing your recruitment process there is a range of, in some cases unexpected, benefits.

You’ll have no need for in-house recruitment personnel, and better yet, no need for your staff to multitask the demands of recruitment alongside their usual responsibilities.

By using a recruitment service, you’ll also reduce your HR and payroll responsibilities, saving on statutory payments and employee benefits too.  

And of course, perhaps the biggest saving of all, the time and money you’d spend on advertising vacancies, shortlisting candidates and staging interviews – gone! 

The Right Person For The Job

Anyone who has been in charge of in-house recruitment knows how variable the results can be.

You choose the best candidate, train them up, settle them into the position, then find out that they’re simply not cut out for the role.

All that hard spent time and effort wasted.

At AGS Support Services, we screen candidates through a combination of interviews and qualification checks to ensure we’re providing you with the highest quality staff.

This means that our temporary workforce has a shorter onboarding time and are ready and able to provide the results you expect.

Reduced Liability And Commitment

The liabilities a business faces when bringing in new staff can be offputting.

From the mundane, such as employee benefits, to the downright scary, like discovering too late your staff don’t have the correct certifications – it’s a minefield. 

AGS removes the burden of liability from your shoulders, taking ownership for all documentation and Right To Work checks.

By using a temporary workforce, you also reduce the chance of a “bad hire” – if a contractor isn’t the right fit for your team, we can swap them quickly for someone better suited.

Adaptable To Your Changing Needs

While some industries are linear, growing steadily in a manner that is easy to forecast, others have regular peaks and troughs throughout the year.

With the flexibility to bring in temporary workers for any period of time, you can better manage fluctuating demands and new projects.

This also means you’ll never find yourself overstaffed and paying for an unneeded workforce.

A temporary workforce doesn’t suit every situation, but when used efficiently, it can significantly reduce demands on your time and finances, while better meeting your changing business needs.
