ONS Employment Figures: End of Hiring and Firing…
Ahead of the ONS employment figures in the UK, it is vital that businesses begin to embrace a more dynamic workforce. So many businesses across the country resort to hiring contractors for a short period of time, often with very short notice periods, and due to the inefficient nature of the system, many highly skilled individuals can be out of work. Rather than becoming over reliant on recruitment agencies and associated fees, these companies should consider outsourcing these projects to consultancies who are experienced at completing projects on time and within budget.
Farida Gibbs, CEO of Gibbs S3, comments: “Outsourcing entire projects is a highly cost effective method for businesses. This allows for outsourcing project consultancies to hire more skilled professionals, giving them having greater job security whether they are on permanent or contract employment, yet still retain the project type work that they enjoy. This would reduce the number of individuals that fall into short-term unemployment due to redundancies or lack of contract renewal due to projects coming to an end.”
By expanding its transformational consultancy division, Gibbs S3 has differentiated from its competitors by offering a unique service to its customers, expanding their capability to excel in delivering to clients. By taking control of the outsourced project, Gibbs S3 is able to provide a more effective and low-cost service to clients, while maintaining superb results.
Farida Gibbs continues: “The fire and hire culture has been going on for too long. Hiring managers sometimes take weeks or months to find the right person, yet due to budget constraints in the future, could be forced to let this person go. Rather than having to constantly hire at the start of a project and fire at end, competent professionals, who are completely used to working in a variety of companies, can come in and hit the ground running.”
