flexible staffing

Many organisations are currently recruiting for a staff member they do not really need.

How is your organisation managing to identify when this is the case?

At Drake, our specialised consultants are trained to evaluate your needs, determine the right staffing levels then find you the best staff for non-permanent roles.

 
Don’t pay a full-time salary > for a part-time workload. Many organisations struggle through their workload peaks and troughs with permanent staff levels geared to meet the peak period requirements. When the workload declines – productivity drops, costs go up and the organisation effectively ends up paying full time salaries for part time jobs.
Employers that have flexibility in adjusting labour requirements to meet product and service demands have a distinct cost advantage.

Drake can assist your organisation by evaluating your ideal staffing levels and help reduce those unnecessary overhead costs associated with carrying excess staff.

Drake’s flexible staffing solution, Drake Overload allows organisations ready access to a practically unlimited supply of staff. Should it be for a new project, additional resources to manage an unexpected business peak or to cover staffing leave periods, Drake Overload’s temporary workforce is fully assessed, screened and ready for work at very short notice.

Consider the benefits of a flexible staffing solution: lowering your labour costs, a more flexible workforce, the infusion of specific expertise on an interim basis and a guaranteed minimum level of performance.

Maximising the benefits of flexible staffing can be achieved through the application of three simple steps:

  1. Understand your current workforce;
    • What is your base of pivotal, permanent workers?
    • Is your company overstaffed or understaffed?

  3. Balance your workforce with your workload
