Temporary Staff
A PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR TEMPORARY MEASURES
A significant and potentially untapped opportunity lies in the area of Temporary Staff and Contract Labour recruitment. Often falling outside the remit of purchasing, our recent experience confirms that the majority of arrangements for sourcing “Agency” staff are local and informal. This puts business at risk from recent changes in employment and immigration legislation. The process of hiring Temporary Staff under formal contractual agreements can often appear daunting; but our success in delivering robust purchasing solutions in this area will bring cost reduction and additional associated benefits including:
- Rationalisation of Suppliers- cost and process savings
- Increased risk management; improve due diligence
- Eliminate rogue supplier sourcing
- Transparent costs in service
- Improved service, quality and performance
- Flexible supply arrangements
- Increase savings potential from improved consolidated terms
We have a proven track record in delivering these benefits through strategic project management activity in this specialised area.
This activity typically involves:
- Analysis of client expenditure- by outlet and Group business
- Comparison of Budgeted to actual expenditure within category
- Analysis of Supplier usage and expenditure- by outlet and Group
- Category of staff analysis- by type and grade of staff, by rates for staff supplied
- Commercial Terms assessment
- Employment Business (Agency)- business operation assessment, compliance to legislation
Following the assessment phase we would provide a potential benefits assessment with our recommendations for change. Once agreed a strategic sourcing initiative would be carried out including a pre-qualification process, contract terms negotiation and concluding with the full implementation and communication of the new agreements, formalising contractual and service level agreements.
This is a major un-tapped opportunity for any business within the Industry that has not got formal agreements in place. It allows for Operations, H.R. and Purchasing to combine effectively whilst maximising the group’s expenditure and focus on a non core activity.
Fee Base
We make no charge for an initial consultation at which time we will explain the process in full detail. Our professional fees are agreed in advance of each phase of the project. We do not charge commissions on suppliers nor expect to recover any of your negotiated savings.
If you think that this could be of interest to your business I would be delighted to hear from you.
