Euworkers refers to wage and salary workers that are employed on an indeterminate term contract. National definitions vary but broadly conform to the generic European definition of temporary employment.
Temps are hired by staffing agencies for specific roles to cover gaps in workforce (such as maternity leave or holiday absence) and can range from just a few hours up to many months, depending on the needs of the client that is hiring. This arrangement can be a great option for both parties: it allows businesses to tap into a pool of highly skilled candidates while at the same time providing employees with some stability, in spite of their indeterminate contract lengths.
Temporary Employment in Event Management: Opportunities and Tips
HR departments must consider several factors when it comes to bringing in temporary workers. First, they must ensure that they have a clear understanding of the temporary employment laws in their jurisdiction to avoid any potential legal risks. Once they have a firm grasp of the laws, they can optimize the use of temp employees in their organizations by conducting thorough interviews and ensuring that the terms of the contract are clear from the outset.
In addition, they must take into account the learning curve of new temporary employees and how their departure will impact project continuity, customer service levels, and team morale. Finally, they must implement an effective onboarding process and a formal end-of-assignment procedure to evaluate performance, provide feedback, and make a decision about extending the temporary employee’s contract or offering them a permanent position within the company.
