When you invite temporary employees into your workplace, you want them to go away from the experience with a positive impression of your company. At Labor Solutions, we strive for satisfaction from both parties when we send individuals to a business for a work assignment.
Creating a Welcoming Work Environment
Labor Solutions staffs a number of local companies in a variety of industries, and we consistently encourage our clients to maximize the benefit of hiring on temporary help by doing something simple things to make a positive experience for everyone.
- Onboarding. The first step is always to have a smooth and comprehensive onboarding process. This should involve a greeting at the entrance, a quick tour of the relevant areas, and a short orientation in a room or location free of distractions.
- Mentoring. Having a team of permanent employees who volunteer to act as mentors for the temp staff is a great way to ensure that your temporary workers have the support they need to do a great job from the get-go.
- Space. The work areas that temporary employees will use should be clean and ready for use when they arrive, and of sufficient space that they don’t feel cramped or crowded. Pay attention to details like lighting, working technology, and ergonomic design. If the environment allows for it, encourage temp staff workers to personalize the space they’ll be working at.
- Check in. Daily check-ins with temp workers helps reassure them that they are on the right track work-wise while affirming for yourself that they are doing what you need them to do. If they will be with you for a while, the frequency of check-ins can be reduced with time. Encourage them to ask questions as necessary.
Great Workers When You Need Them
Working with Labor Solutions is the best way to be sure you’ll get competent, reliable workers when you need them, for however long you need them. Ease the stress on your permanent employees by getting extra help on demand.
