For companies seeking new ways to stay agile and competitive, an optimal blended workforce can be the key to success. Combining permanent and temporary staff can unlock new opportunities for work force flexibility and diversity.


Flexibility through temporary staff

“Leaders who get the most out of temporary workers treat them as more than a ‘stopgap solution’ to solve temporary staffing issues,” according to a recent Fortune article. Businesses that supplement their permanent workforce with temporary staff can respond more quickly to market changes and new opportunities, maintaining productivity and minimizing overhead costs.

A blended team offers workforce scalability without the expense or commitment of permanent hires. Temporary staff offer an ideal solution to meet business needs during staff absences (such as family leave and vacations), transitions between employees, and for seasonal or short-term needs. With temporary staff, companies can also add instant expertise and skill sets that enhance their existing team.


Embracing diversity through temporary staff

Temporary staff often bring a wealth of experiences, skills, and perspectives from varied backgrounds. Research has shown that diverse teams increase creativity and productivity, make better decisions, and are more successful. A blended team can offer the advantages of organizational knowledge and a fresh perspective, leading to innovative solutions.


A good fit for the job and the culture

When it comes to building successful teams, finding staff with the necessary skills is just one piece of the puzzle. Equally important is finding individuals who seamlessly blend into the company’s culture and values. Temporary staffing services specialize in sourcing candidates who not only possess the required expertise but also exhibit the right attitude, work ethic, and interpersonal skills.
