How To Create Loyalty With Your Temporary Workforce

• Recognize great efforts
  • One of the best things an employer can do is recognize their team for a job well done. There are many ways to celebrate accomplishments such as an Employee of the Month program, giftcards, small bonuses, and even a simple ’Thank you”. By giving a small token of appreciation, that is showing your workers that you care about them.

• Listen to feedback
  • An easy way to inspire loyalty within your temp workforce is to ask them for their opinions. By getting their insights on processes and procedures, you are creating a sense of trust. Show them you are listening by taking their opinions into account. Implement changes based on the feedback you receive, if  possible. 

• Work with a staffing agency to hire for fit
  • Hiring for a cultural fit comes before inspiring loyalty within your workforce. Hiring for a cultural fit allows you to discover those people whose values align with your company’s. These people will feel more engaged with your company culture – a huge driver in today’s world. When the values of an employer and worker line up, workers often feel increased loyalty and connection to their place of work. When you work with a staffing agency like The Job Center Staffing, you can find the right people for your team at the right time. Our dedicated team will work with you to find workers who align with your company culture.

• Emphasize training and development
  • Be involved in changing a temp worker’s life by providing them the proper training and development. They may have been placed in a position with specific tasks; however, if there is an opportunity for them to learn and grow, you should urge them to participate. This inspires loyalty by making workers feel cared for and more engaged at work. Temp workers will most likely be more motivated to stay with the company and encourage others to work at the company as well. 

• Use temp to hire structure 
  • When you find a great worker, you will want to keep them around for longer. Consider moving them into a permanent position if possible. By presenting this option to temp workers, they will be motivated to perform well on the job.
