These are hard times - we’re all being asked to cut back on spending and watch our budgets. When the economy turns down, whether managing your personal expenses or running a company, the rules are the same. Rule One - Tighten Your Belt and Rule Two - Don’t Forget Rule One. Some health-care industries such as pharmacies and hospitals are turning to temporary staffing to help ease the economic strain - and with good reason. Ken Smith, Vice President of Peak Performers, a staffing agency specializing exclusively in the dentistry profession, writes in his article “Benefits of Using Temporary Staffing in A Tough Economy”, that it has become an economically sound practice to hire health-care personnel on an as needed basis. He explains that transferring the cost of such items as medical benefits, unemployment claims, holiday and vacation pay and social security taxes, are a very cost effective tool in saving a company money.
In addition, temporary help is often offered on a contract-to-hire basis meaning you can try out the candidates skills and also see if they adapt to your particular company environment before hiring them permanently. Another benefit is the cost of screening a health-care candidate for licenses, education, drug screening, CORI and many other tests absorbed by the staffing agency. So, as we move forward in a very difficult economy, using temporary staffing firms seems to make a great deal of sense and more health-care companies are getting the message.
