Temps vs. Workforce Solutions: Upgrade Your Staffing

Written by Gary Johnson, COO | Aug 9, 2022 6:27:00 PM

It may be time for you to switch from a traditional staffing model to a more comprehensive workforce solution. Instead of hiring temporary or seasonal workers through several staffing agencies, using a dedicated onsite staffing model to manage employees and costs will improve employee retention, decrease spending, and increase your company’s profitability. At Bear Staffing, we have decades of experience, and provide comprehensive workforce solutions with strategy, planning, and coordination to meet your staffing needs. Here are a few ways that a comprehensive onsite solution can significantly improve your overall staffing results.  

Temp Staffing Administration

When you reach out to a company for staffing needs, oftentimes they are for temporary employees. When that occurs, you are left to handle the onboarding, timesheets, invoices, compliance paperwork, and other administrative tasks involved in employing temporary or seasonal workers. This takes away precious time that you could be spending helping your customers fulfill their needs, rather than focusing on your temporary staff’s paperwork. By consolidating your administrative duties to an onsite or near-site staffing manager, you are freeing up valuable time and saving money.  

Onsite Supervision and Management

Having an onsite staffing supervisor means that you no longer are bogged down with coordinating and managing employee onboarding, compliance, ongoing training, etc. Not only that but having someone who will support your OSHA protocols and safety requirements. Continued administration of your workforce will be given to someone who has years of experience and will work directly with you to ensure both your satisfaction and employee retention. Communication is key and having someone onsite or near-site ensures open communication and correspondence, allowing everyone to exceed their goals.  

An Update to the Old Models 

The definition of insanity is doing something the same way over and over and expecting different results. Do the old models of staffing work? Yes. But they can work better. With onsite or near-site staffing services, virtual staffing, high-volume staffing, and direct-hire staffing, Bear Staffing focuses on you, your facility, and your company’s needs. We ensure that the employee has the proper training and skills to fill the position. It's all about the focus.
