Prevalent concerns of working with temporary agencies

In order to meet certain business requirements, businesses often consider hiring temp agency. But is this really a good solution when it comes to the question of success? Earlier experiences shared by various businesses are not indicating the same. There are a number of issues of hiring temporary staffs.

​Lack of training
This is an era of specialization and it is applicable in the professional world as well. Hiring temporary staffs in the business can never be the solution of this problem. Even though they are all trained but it is not necessary that they are specialized for any particular job. So companies must arrange for training.
 
Lack of professionalism
This is a serious issue that is experienced with the temporary staffs. Since they know that they have been hired for a temporary period, they often don’t indulge them in the job completely. So, there is always a question mark with the professionalism of the temporary staffs.

Lack of loyalty
Expecting loyalty from a temporary staff is next to impossible. They know well their job and they know well that they will not be treated like the permanent staffs. So, they chose to stay away from any kind of loyalty to their profession.  
Ethical issues
There is always a difference of ethics between the permanent staffs and temporary staffs. Temp staffs are not always driven by the same business ethics. They uphold a more casual approach to the job which is dreadful for a company’s success.
Legal issues
There are lots of legal issues of hiring temporary staffs. Right from their wages to the behavior towards them, everything comes under the scanner of the legal system. This takes a toll on the business atmosphere.
Increased operating cost
People, who are in the impression that this will manage company’s expenses, are completely wrong. Irrespective of the number of hiring, this always cost more to the companies. The cost of training; cost of wages and there can be many more depending on the companies.
Difference in the attitude
The right attitude towards the job is one of the prime requirements which temporary staffs lack most of the time. Staffs can be groomed or trained but they cannot be taught the right attitude. And the origin of this kind of attitude is the lack of professionalism.
Difficulties with working as a team
In every business, teamwork is very important and temporary staffs lack this quality to a large extent. They always find it hard to gel with the permanent workers or the vice versa. But eventually, the business suffers because of this.
Question of trustworthiness
Can you rely on the temporary staffs blindly? There is always a problem with the trustworthiness of the temporary staffs. They can never show the same amount of dependability like the experienced staffs. And for this, they need to give time to learn things.
Lack of vision
Unlike a permanent staff, the goal of a temp staff is for short-term. And when you plan for short-term, you actually miss the bigger vision of the company. This is exactly what happens with the temporary staffs. They basically have no vision for their job.
Less interested in solving problems
Temporary staffs are not good at solving problems or they are not interested in doing that. The only aim they have is to complete the term by any means. They consider this the job of the permanent staffs.
Impact on the office atmosphere
Employing temp staffs can have a large impact in the company atmosphere. The lack of involvement of them often disturbs the permanent workers. And on the other hand, temp staffs are treated like the second class citizen.
Reluctant to take extra burden
Unlike the permanent staffs, temp staffs are less interested in taking extra burden for the businesses. They do exactly what they are paid for and nothing else.
