Hiring the right skill set for the right job at the right time is one of the most difficult tasks managers face. Trying to fit employees in a role either they are not interested in or cannot handle or even promoting someone hoping they will pick up the pace quickly with their new responsibility can lead to inefficiencies.
Why would a manager be opting for a half-suited solution to address a problem?
Many reasons could justify using an unfit or average fit resource to spearhead a project, including:
- The desire to motivate their troops and giving them a perspective of growth or learning opportunity
- Tight deadlines, context, and timing forcing them to grab the first available option
Growth and learning opportunities are a must to elevate your team, yet they require planning and preparation. Often managers don’t have the time nor luxury to train their team members to face upcoming challenges. Even parachuting the most suited resource available in a confronting and perhaps overwhelming situation might result in low performance and efficiency.
The underlying question is, why are we giving up on efficiency so easily? Is it too complicated to contract the right person for the right job until your core resources are ready for it?
Most companies have a thorough supplier selection process to source, select, negotiate and award work to a vendor. All that makes sense; you want top performers, the best price, and quality. So, when it comes to sitting the right person in the right chair, why would we compromise?
Here are three reasons why a Temporary Employees is Your Answer
1. You can Leverage the know-how of the Temporary Employees
Leverage this temporary contractor’s know-how to teach and coach your core team on the best practices. This way, the next time they face a similar situation, they will have the right resources and approach to overcome it.
2. You get the best performance, on-time
When you hire the contractor, make sure you’re looking for the most suited candidate, the one with the right qualifications and experience. Doing so will result in the best performance and results within a short time.
3. Temporary employees can help you ride the waves
During uncertain times, you can stabilize your operations by hiring contractors to help your business ramp up in an agile way without having to endure extra costs. Contactors will support your operations and drive the needed results.
To conclude, hiring temporary employees will result in better performance in the short run, given their experience, and in the long run, with the transfer of knowledge. They can also help you navigate your peaks and valleys in a “safer” way.
