With only a month left until the end of the year, many hard working staff in the community sector will be starting to dream of a well-earned break.
In this post, we explore the invaluable role that temp cover plays during the Christmas and New Year period, and what you need to do today to ensure your temps are in place and ready for action as soon as your permanent staff go on leave.
Caring for your staff, and the people they serve
After a big year of providing selfless care and support for others, it’s essential that our wonderful workers get the chance to recuperate and refresh before launching into the year ahead… which is where temp staff can have an enormous benefit.
While permanent staff enjoy their much-needed break, the provision of essential community services must continue seamlessly. Temporary staff play a pivotal role in ensuring that there are no disruptions in service delivery, thereby upholding your organisation’s commitment to the people you serve.
Start planning your temp cover now
If you haven’t already started preparing temp cover for the Christmas and New Year period, here’s three reasons why you should get started today.
1. Planning for temporary cover well in advance is essential for ensuring a smooth transition between permanent and temporary staff. This includes time for permanent staff to prepare an adequate handover that will provide continuity in service for clients.
2. Early planning gives our specialist recruiters at Be Recruitment and Be Workforce the opportunity to carefully select temporary staff who align with the values and mission of your organisation. This not only maintains service quality but also fosters a sense of unity and purpose among the team.
3. By planning ahead, you can allocate sufficient time for the training of temporary staff, ensuring they are equipped with the necessary knowledge and resources to fulfil their roles effectively. This proactive approach minimises the learning curve and maximises the impact of temporary staff during the holiday period.
