How Does Your Current Temp Supply Measure Up?

We believe employers should have confidence in the quality of their temporary labour supply, not just the number of shifts being filled. Through conversations with industrial businesses across Worcestershire, we've identified the key factors that determine whether a staffing partnership is genuinely effective. Our Industrial Temp Supply Scorecard allows employers to benchmark their current provider against areas such as reliability, fill speed, no-shows, compliance, communication, and overall service delivery, providing a clear picture of what's working well and where improvements could be made.
