The idea of company loyalty is lost in today's world of downsizing and shedding non-core competencies to compete in a global marketplace. Since workers no longer find security in their jobs, they must find it in themselves. The temp industry gives people the opportunity to use and improve their skills while moving from job to job. Full-time employees mean much more than salary. Businesses also save money by not having to train employees.
Temp agencies ensure the workers they send out have the necessary skills for a particular job.
On the legal side, companies who use temps worry less about wrongful termination and harassment lawsuits. If a temp isn't working out, a business can fire him and hire a new one. One downside to disposable employees is privacy. Leaks regarding sensitive business material are always a concern. Temps, who lack company loyalty, may be more prone to disregard confidentially agreements.
