There are many benefits to using temp labour in your business. By bringing in workers on a temporary basis, you can increase efficiency and productivity while reducing costs. By using the Grizzly Force digital platform, you can spend less time finding affordable, reliable help. Hiring temp labour is the easy part, correct implementation is the key to successfully reaping these benefits. Let's jump into our top tips for getting the most out of your temp labour.

Define the scope of work for your temp labour and keep it straightforward

Being strategic about the role you place your temp labour in will help them to integrate into your business faster. Giving them tasks that are quicker to learn and repeat will allow them to be profitable for your business sooner. It will also help them to feel more comfortable if they can successfully perform the task without a lot of assistance or questions. This is critical for temp workers, as they will likely have little to no experience in your industry.

 

Assign a permanent employee as a company ambassador for temp labour

This will help to facilitate a smooth transition for the temp labour worker into your business. Your company ambassador can provide guidance and support. They can answer any questions the temp may have, and help them to feel comfortable in their new surroundings. Make sure the ambassador is clear about expectations for the temporary worker and clearly communicates this. Not only will the help your temp labourer, but it is also an opportunity to reward and encourage leadership with your permanent employee. Everybody wins!

 

Consider adding good temp labourers to your Grizzly Force preferred list

If a person is performing well and has a good attitude, consider adding them to your preferred list. You might also consider telling the worker that you'd like them to return for a future shift (this is a great moral booster!). By using the Grizzly Force platform you can reduce your onboarding costs by using the preferred worker list. When a worker is familiar with the expectations of the job they'll be able to work more seamlessly within your organization. Another way to arrange the same workers for future shifts is to email your account representative. They have the tools to bring you the right workers for your job. If the worker has really made a good impression, we also offer permanent hires, for one low fee. We're delighted when our partners make a match with our workers. Please reach out to your account representative to learn about our low price on permanent hires.
