Employers are clamoring for temp services. The national staffing crisis, brought on by a robust economy and drastically low unemployment is leaving HR professionals winded, weary and woeful.
Companies recognize the value of a flexible work force.
Companies come out ahead because their internal costs are lowered, i.e., costs of overtime brought on by having regular staff increase their workload and training and benefit costs incurred when adding new staff. Many agree the appeal of building temps into the workplace is the ability this strategy creates to increase or decrease staffing levels to, match fluctuations in business activity. The U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics Report , indicated in its Bank Teller Job Outlook that Opportunities for employment as a bank teller should be good for qualified applicants. Banks should continue to have difficulty finding prospective tellers with the desired skills. Although, prodding customers to use ATMs and computers, human tellers are by no means obsolete.
