Friday, February 26 marks one year since our coworker and friend Lisa Greene passed away from breast cancer. While there are no magic words to ease pain there are memories that we share individually and as a group. Her smile, her laugh, her drive and the way she made everyone feel like they were the most important person on the planet (no matter how she really felt!). Here’s a quote that sums it up as well as any (author unknown):
Grief never ends…but it changes. It’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith…it is the price of love.

Are there times when you wish you had one more set of hands around the workplace?
Maybe an employee is on extended leave, or your business experiences seasonal fluctuations in demand? Maybe there is a large project looming and it will be difficult to integrate these duties amongst the other day-to-day tasks that must be completed?
No matter the reason, the answer is the same.
Hiring temp workers allows your business to bring in an employee when you need them, without the hassles involved in hiring an employee on your own. If you aren’t sure this is the right move for your business, consider these other benefits of hiring temp workers.
Temps Have Competitive Skills
A temporary employee can be just as skilled and experienced as your other employees. Staffing firms are just as rigorous in determining if an applicant’s skills match your needs as you would be. All applicants go through interviews and screening processes to ensure they meet the same level of standard as the business with which they work.
Temporary workers may be college educated in their field of expertise and may hold significant on-the-job experience. Just because a worker is temporary doesn’t mean they are not the type of employee you would hire yourself.
No HR Burden
Not only does a temporary not need to be put through your hiring and onboarding processes, they will not ever be on your official payroll. Temporary workers are employees of the staffing office for which they work. This means that you will never bear the burden of payroll processing, unemployment insurance, or any other cost traditionally associated with managing personnel. Instead, the staffing firm will handle all of those requirements while all you have to worry about is paying an invoice.
Here When You Need Them, and Not When You Don’t
As a business, you have few specific time obligations to the temporary worker. If a project is completed ahead of schedule, you can end the assignment early. If the need continues past the original end date, you may be able to continue working with the same temporary employee you have been, or you can choose to work with a different temporary worker if your needs shift.
Can’t Live Without Them? You Can Hire Them!
In cases where you can’t imagine operating without the temp workers, they may be eligible to become a full-time employee. If you both feel it is a good fit, and all proper processes are followed per your contingent staffing agreements, then you can bring them on to your payroll as a new employee.

Diversity in the workplace is often lauded, seen as a necessity for business success, but many hiring managers neglect to look into why diversity matters.
Understanding Diversity
The term diversity is used to reference the differences between individuals, as well as how those differences are perceived. Whether in regards to race, gender, age, or other factors, diversity is seen as a way to promote inclusion within an environment. Not only can diverse hiring practices improve a company’s image, it also brings with it certain benefits.
Focus on Talent
By being open to diversity, you can better align your business with talent. The most qualified or effective employee may come from any walk of life. Understanding that knowledge and skill can exist within any applicant, regardless of their background, opens your company up to additional hiring opportunities.
Diverse candidates may also bring additional benefits that were not initially sought during the hiring process. For example, certain employees may be bilingual which can be a benefit when a company’s customer base is wide. Additionally, they may have connections to communities that were previously disconnected from your business, bringing new opportunities for expansion within the market sector.
Promote Creativity
A diverse workforce may be more creative overall. Along with different backgrounds comes different life experiences and perspectives. Each member of the team has something unique to offer which can result in previously undiscovered ideas coming to the table. Coupling diversity with a sense of inclusion allows those who have ideas to contribute freely and may lead to an increased level of innovation.
Increased Globalization
As the world becomes a more interconnected place, those with a diverse workforce may be more adept at adjusting techniques to fit the needs to a wider customer base. This could apply to businesses looking to participate in an international marketplace, as well as those with a wide range of clientele in their home area.
Learning Opportunities
Those with different experiences have the opportunity to learn for one another in a way that may not be possible in more academic pursuits. Older workers may be able to provide knowledge, cultivated over years, to those just entering the field while younger workers may bring knowledge of the latest industry techniques and a fresh point of view.
Employees can benefit from understanding the unique strengths each person brings to the table, as well as how to balance out weaknesses.
