People often use temp staffing to meet labor shortages which is more expensive and an inefficient way to manage labor shortages. Let’s talk how managed labor solutions can help companies hire skilled workforce at ¼th cost while maintaining and increasing performance.
If you manage operations of a warehouse, logistics, or transportations; you must be well-versed with the operations staff shortage including last-mile delivery drivers. These days, labor shortage has become a common phenomenon and a dearth of these skilled professionals is adding more to the inflation. Apart from that, the peak season – the biggest time of the year for eCommerce brands and 3PLs – also gets negatively impacted, leading to customer dissatisfaction. A big risk to ignore, isn’t it?
What adds more to these woes are the legal implications of temp staffing. More than the pros, there are cons of hiring a temp staff that includes training them from the scratch only to bid adieu to them at a later stage. In that case, the only thing that will come to your rescue is managed labor solutions. Managed labor solutions that enable warehouses, manufacturers, and production facilities to minimize these shortages and leverage maximum benefits.
Cons of Hiring Temp Staff
The benefits of temp hiring are aplenty, but have you thought of their perils? Let’s take a look at them to understand what disadvantages they have in store for us.
- Legal Issues. The US has specific and clear guidelines for hiring temp employees. Just one mistake in following the rules and you can risk a heavy lawsuit. While they are not offered any benefits of a full-time employee, they can’t even be treated as one.
- Safety Issues. A workplace that requires highly skilled staff that has a knack for the job can’t have a temp employee as a solution. This can lead to more on-the-job accidents and by the time you give them proper training, it might be time for them to go.
- Training Requirements. The more temporary employees you hire, the newer people you will have to train. You can eliminate some of this difficulty by hiring the same temps as often as possible, but there will always be an investment of time and personnel to get your temporary employees up to speed.
- Lack of Teamwork. Temporary employees often do not have time to integrate with your full-time employees, and regular employees may be resentful of interlopers, or hesitant to invest time in employees who won’t be around for long. So, there is no easy way to build camaraderie.
