Businesses have used staffing services for nearly 100 years to help with seasonal fluctuations in demand and production levels. And while companies in all industries from industrial and office services to skilled trades and professional can benefit from using employment solutions from a staffing company, knowing what type of service works best for your specific business needs is an important step.
The Workforce Playbook, from Express Employment Professionals, is a comprehensive guide for using staffing to build a stronger and more productive workforce.
The Workforce Playbook outlines which factors have the largest impact on business, what benefits staffing firms provide to companies, when a company should use a staffing service, and what types of business use staffing.
While all factors play unique roles in deciding which services your company needs, getting a closer look at what staffing companies provide during specific, real-life scenarios is a great first step to the world of staffing and knowing which service is best for your business. A few scenarios include:
Most businesses know when their busy season will hit. So, whether it's just a few days or several months, working with a staffing company to build your workforce during those expected fluctuations ensures you have the staff you need.
In addition to preparing for expected busy seasons, a strategy that includes maintaining a number of temporary workers allows the flexibility to quickly scale your workforce in response to unexpected fluctuations in business volume.
Sometimes, businesses need a professional with a specific skillset for a project or to help get a new product line prepared for launch. In these cases, staffing companies provide workers on a contract basis who have the experience and expertise you need.
There's no guarantee a new hire will be the right fit for the job or your company culture. Many staffing companies provide an evaluation period to assess a potential new employee's skills, expertise, and personality before you make a full-time hiring decision.
