outsource! |
Large
companies and corporations are often faced with a "support staff"
management problem. A lot of time and effort is wasted on the
management of support staff such as drivers, telephone operators,
secretaries, office assistants, temporary workers and consultants
among others. Through the outsourcing services, the employer is
relieved of the burden of personnel management. The outsourced staff
usually receives the same benefits package as if they are working
directly for the employer. GMS handles the payroll processing,
salary tax payment, social security as well as medical and life
insurance if requested.
Personnel outsourcing is provisioned
in two shapes:
1) Temporary Staffing
Description:
-
Temporary
replacements for absent employee
-
Short-term
staffing for busy seasons or periods of peak productivity
-
Staff with
specific skills required for special projects
-
Short-term
contract employees
-
Replacements for
permanent employees engaged in jobs outside the companies interest
and core business.
Some
of the most commonly requested areas of traditional temporary
staffing include clerical/secretarial, word processing, data entry
and switchboard operators, visa and work permit officers. In the
field, other jobs required would be radio operators, storekeepers,
maintenance and cleaning staff, drivers and operators among others.
Though, many companies are using temporary staffing in every area of
their operations, from operations, manufacturing and distribution to
marketing, sales and administration. In the oil & gas, a typical
application would be fielding of staff for maintenance, drilling,
HSE, technical and other disciplines.
Advantages:
-
Reduce labor costs and
break the cycle of frequent hiring and layoffs by providing
support only when and where needed.
-
Shift the burden of
logistics support (visas, work permits, driving licenses…
etc).

your employees are on vacation or otherwise absent, provide
special-project skill sets and increase your company’s ability to
meet project deadlines.

administrative burden of placing an ad, fielding responses,

interviews every time a candidate is required to fill in a certain
vacancy.

employee whom you would like to be placed on the subcontractors
