Management of temporary workforce by an in-house staffing agency
If your industrial operations require the regular use of temporary workers, having an “in-house” agency may be a wise choice…
In fact, because of their regular presence on-site, the consultant from the “in-house” staffing agency has a thorough understanding of your company’s internal policies and procedures.
They also have a deeper understanding of your employees, as well as the work habits and methods of your existing teams. This allows them to be highly responsive and to quickly propose candidates who will integrate more easily into the existing organization.
Through closer collaboration with the Human Resources department, the “in-house” consultant knows exactly when certain positions need to be filled and in which department. This enables a high level of responsiveness, allowing the search for suitable candidates to begin promptly.
But the benefits extend beyond the site’s administrative organization.
In an industrial setting, it is also important for the in-house consultant to be familiar with your production schedules so they can quickly anticipate busy periods, such as seasonal production peaks or annual vacation periods.
Finally, an “in-house” staffing agency will also make it easier to retain the candidates it provides, thereby reducing turnover and fostering a team of temporary workers who are trained and well-adapted to your organization.
And where does PeopleForce fit into all of this?
Just as with the Human Resources or Management Control departments, PeopleForce, Synthetis’ software solution for the automatic assignment of shift workers, also supports the optimized management of temporary staff. And it does so within a single scheduling tool.
With PeopleForce, you have access to a useful history of temporary staff’s past assignments and placements, as well as the training and skills they’ve acquired, which helps justify decisions to rehire them. Relying on seasonal staff, year after year, has the advantage of reducing the training burden, especially for skilled positions, and avoiding interruptions in assignments, thereby helping to build loyalty among temporary staff!
PeopleForce will also make it possible to anticipate requests for time off that require the use of temporary or student staff. More optimized management of simultaneous time-off periods helps maintain a minimum level of skills and limit productivity losses.
Finally, an accurate simulation makes it possible to calculate the sufficient workforce needed to ensure production. This allows the company to hire temporary workers at the right time, avoiding overstaffing in anticipation of an increase in workload, and helps streamline training.
