Flexible, on-demand staffing has been gaining in popularity recently, but there are still some misconceptions floating around about this type of work. Since Labor Solutions specializes in providing workers on-demand to many industries, we want to make sure everyone understands the benefits of flexible staffing.

The Reality of Flexible Staffing
Labor Solutions has been creating and using flexible staffing options for years, so we’d like to dispel any reservations you may have about the value of this type of employment. Below are some common misunderstandings about how flexible staffing works.

  1. Flexible staffing is another passing trend. The phrase “flexible staffing” is just new terminology for a concept that’s been in use for many years. This type of contingent workforce has been referred to as “on-demand,” “on-call,” “freelance,” “daily,” and other terms that indicate that there is a pool of workers available to draw from anytime your company needs help.
  2. Flexible staffing is only for young people. While on-demand work is great for young adults who are going to school or still deciding on what career path to pursue, the fact is that we have workers of all ages who benefit from flexible schedules. Retirees, stay-at-home parents, individuals with health restrictions, and more can decide each day whether or not they wish to be available for work.
  3. Temporary workers don’t care about the companies they work at. At Labor Solutions, we carefully screen all applicants to ensure that they are conscientious, motivated, reliable workers who always put their best effort into their job assignments.
  4. Temporary workers are always looking to get hired on permanently. Some contract workers are looking for permanent positions, and some aren’t. Many enjoy the flexibility and variety that comes with working temporary assignments.
