The benefits of utilizing the supplemental staffing service are obvious. Perhaps not as obvious are the increased responsibilities of the employer that are necessary to ensure success in employing temporary workers. Vendor selection, employee screening, personnel management, contract negotiations and standardization, cost management, and quality control are just a few of the areas that internal Staffing and Human Resource Departments need to consider in their use of the supplemental staffing services. In order to ensure that the employment relationship is a cost effective solution to supporting sustained business success and growth, it is essential that the additional employer responsibilities are properly managed.
