If you read as much as I do about the future of our economy you know that the prognosticators are all over the board. (Editor's Note: This Wall Street Journal blog is very good at reporting and analyzing all of those conflicting economic indicators.) You don't know who to believe which means you can best rely on the signals your own business is sending.
If your business is showing positive signs but you're not sure it is sustainable you need to consider utilizing the services of a temporary help company. This is a text book time of why the industry was created.
You probably have worked hard to keep your core group of best employees gainfully employed during the current downturn. We have. You may have even taken advantage of the times to weed out some dead weight.
Using a staffing service allows you to re-build your workforce at a comfortable pace without the costs full time hires bring.
Utilizing the "temp to perm" approach can be like a "do over" as you re-tool your workforce.
If it's been a while since you have used temp help or if you are considering it for the first time I might suggest you take a trip back in our staffing tips archive. There you will find a treasure chest of brilliant information (I wrote it of course!) about how to best utilize the services of a staffing company.
Oh, and as a small tip of the month, keep in mind that the staffing index does have some correlation with the stock market as well. Happy Hunting.
