Is your end of year team staffed up enough?

Is your end of year team staffed up enough?

Demi: Hi, how are you?

Mark Smith: Very good. So tell me more about this idea of getting temporary and contract staff into your business before Christmas.

Demi: Absolutely. I do believe that scalability is a good benefit. This time of the year brings an influx of customers, increasing workload. With the help of temporary staff, they can be quickly onboarded, providing an extra set of hands during the holiday rush without burning out existing employees.

Mark Smith: Cost-effective, I assume?

Demi: Yes, hiring temporary staff can be more cost-effective than hiring full-time employees. You're only paying for the services needed during the peak service time, avoiding long-term financial commitments associated with permanent employees.

Mark Smith: And reduced stress on permanent employees?

Demi: Exactly. The holiday season can be stressful for regular employees juggling increased workloads and personal holidays. Temporary staff can help distribute the workload, reducing stress and burnout among the team.

Mark Smith: Fantastic. If anyone here in Sydney is looking to fill a gap this holiday period, please feel free to reach out to Demi or the team here in Sydney. They're here to help and more than happy to do so. Thanks very much, Demi. Be live. Great. If you'd like to learn more about hiring temporary staff or if you're a job seeker available immediately, get in touch with Demi. Demi, do you want to tell everybody your phone number just one more time?

Demi: Absolutely. Feel free to either email me at dei.aen@people2people.com or reach me on my work mobile at 0282 709 787.

Mark Smith: Great, fantastic. Thanks very much, Demi. Be live. Great. Okay. So let's move on to this week's social media poll results. Last week, we asked this question: What do you find most stressful about your job at the moment?
