National Temporary Workers week and the benefits of Interim HSE support

In case you weren’t aware, this week is National Temporary Worker’s week, sponsored by the REC (The Recruitment and Employment Confederation). It’s an exciting event that aims to recognise the contribution made to the

UK

economy by temporary workers and to raise awareness of how important the temporary worker is. According to the latest stats from the REC, the

UK

recruitment is worth £27 billion a year, of which the vast majority (£24 billion) is down to temporary working.

 

When most people think “temp” they think of an office assistant or a receptionist, brought in at the last minute to cover sickness or annual leave. There is a lot more to it than that though – imagine a company who needs some Health & Safety support urgently but can’t afford to take on a permanent employee. Or perhaps they are looking for the right person to take on permanently but need some cover until they recruit. An interim (aka temporary) Health & Safety professional can come in at short notice, stay as long as you need them and ensure you are doing the right things.

 

That leaves you free to relax in the knowledge that all is taken care of, and concentrate your mind on the permanent recruitment process (and on your other work!)
