Why your Company’s Staffing Solution Might Fail
Many organizations in Southern California fail to understand the importance of contingent or temporary staffing. Other organizations discover that their staffing solution simply is not meeting their expectations. There are several reasons why a company’s staffing solution might fail including:
- Lack of accountability
- Lack of executive support
- Value not recognized
- Inability to adapt
Staffing solutions might be handled by procurement or human resources. While the procurement department is concerned with cost the HR department is only concerned with quality and compliance. If your staffing solution delivers on only one of these things then there will be an obvious disconnect with its value.
One of the most important factors in the overall success of your staffing solution is the support from your executives. If your executives are not on board with your solution it will probably not prove to be as advantageous as expected. This is why it is highly recommended to communicate clearly what they are supposed to be doing. This way you can prevent the executives from thinking that they can defy the solution and work their way around it.
Most importantly, staffing services will impact the day to day of the managers requiring the staff. If the hiring process takes too long, they are not provided with appropriate workers, or they are not able to communicate with the staffing agency then the managers are likely to either reject the solution entirely or look for ways around it.
The key to a flexible staffing solution is to make sure that it can be adapted when required in order to fulfill your workforce requirements. Depending on volume and other factors, many staffing solutions are developed six to twelve months prior to being implemented. Staffing solutions should be quick, reliable and adaptable to accommodate even the fastest changing business conditions. One thing a company must do in order to avoid future problems is to communicate with all stakeholders the need for taking up a certain staffing solution.
