2. Traditional temp agencies lack of speed.
Traditional temp agencies provide a convenient solution for improving staff coverage. Some can occasionally handle short-term requests, but few can help in emergencies when last-minute cover is needed for sick & absent employees or for meeting sudden surges in demand. This is because their operations are geared towards manual processing. At the same time, hiring companies increasingly demand more control over who they hire as well as real-time information on the status of the vacancy. This can lead to tension and failure when working with traditional recruitment agencies.
As businesses plan for a future-proof workforce ,more and more organisations are turning towards automation and digital transformation as a proven, seamless staffing solution.
3. Traditional workforce management tools don’t scale easily.
Tools that enable the core team to self-schedule and managers to integrate their network of flexible workers lead to more transparency and increase efficiency of internal processes. However, such solutions are limited by the size of the manager’s network. They are only scalable if they enable access to a steadily growing number of fully vetted flexible workers through a strategic staffing plan
Workforce planning – why responsive staffing matters.
Responsive staffing, enables you to recruit and schedule your workforce in line with fluctuations in demand. Getting responsive staffing might be complex, but the solution needn’t be. A great solution should:
- Only charge you for completed shifts for ‘true’ responsiveness.
- Allow you to agree on work contracts in a fair, efficient and frictionless way, even at a short notice.
- Provide you with access to a large pool of fully vetted workers.
- Handle complex shift requirements on demand.
- Allow you to choose who you hire and offer full financial transparency.
- Allow you to build your own pool of favourite workers who are accessible on demand.
