flex-staffing

The folks at The Future of Work Unlimited recently published an interesting article on the changing nature of employment

We have talked about "flexible staffing" as a business concept for years — primarily because we are in the talent management business and have long understood the blend of contract, temporary, regular fulltime positions and use of consultants to be one of the most powerful and efficient approaches businesses can take to fill human capital requirements for business strategy and goal attainment.

A number of companies have been keeping a close eye on recent events and attitudes surrounding job satisfaction and the activities of employed workers who are beginning to explore other work possibilities.

Recently we have been writing to you about trying to stay ahead of the curve in these tough economic times. We have cautioned against concentrating solely on the present (although there are more than enough problems to solve) and delaying critical preparation for what lies ahead.

Engaging temporary employees on a flexible basis should be an important part of your overall staffing plan.
