The Value of Interim Managers

 

Research has shown that some people choose to be a temporary worker due to the freedom, the flexibility and the experience such work can offer. There is a very strong case to recognise the value of temping.

 

Temporary work provides instant access to work for everyone from students looking for some extra work to supplement their income to highly skilled interim managers who want to stay in their career but on the hours and terms they choose.

 

We asked several temporary workers what they thought about temporary work to challenge the myth that workers are exploited.

• Temporary work provides flexible work options to suit workers circumstances.

• Temporary work keeps people in work when looking for a permanent job.

• Temporary work offers a range of experiences to young people and those wishing to change careers by allowing them to ‘try before they buy’ into a job.

 

It is sometimes thought that temps are a cheap option but this is unlikely to be the case. A client company will have to pay the cost of employment for the temporary and a margin to the recruitment agency. In many case temps command a higher rate of pay than their permanent counterparts – they charge a premium for their services as they are available at short notice.
