Managing a Temporary Workforce 2010
Optimise your use of agency, contract and temporary workers
The final period of consultation on the regulations for the Agency Workers Directive has ended and with few changes then likely to be made, even if a Conservative government comes into power, shrewd employers are already considering the impact that the Agency Workers Directive will have on their employment practices. If agency and temporary workers are given equal rights, what will be the impact on your holiday, sickness, maternity and absence polices – to name but a few? Will you still be able to use agency workers to increase flexibility or will they now become a burden?
It is well worth making an early to assessment of your likely staffing needs and plan now to guarantee a future of trouble-free recruitment.
Attend Symposium Events’ forthcoming conference; Managing a Temporary Workforce, and understand not only the current legal minefield that surrounds the use of temporary workers, but also the implications that the introduction of the Agency Workers Directive will have on your resourcing policies.
