There are about 1m temp and contract workers in Britain and they give business and the public sector a vital degree of flexibility. It is estimated that agency workers contribute just under £25 billion to the nation’s economy each year and the public sector depends on them.
Using an agency and temp and contract workers has many benifits for companies and the public sector. The agency handles all the paperwork and makes sure all workers are checked, interviewed and referenced, saving a lot of time for companies and the public sector.
Recent studies have suggested that temp workers tend to be happier than their permanenet counterparts. It was felt that this was down to the growing pressures on permanent jobs.
Temp workers do not have to worry about staying late and working after hours, their next promotion and they don’t have to ingratiate themselves with bosses. Due to this temp workers suffer less depression, have a better work-life balance, have lower levels of irritation and generally greater life satisfaction. So for a happier, stress free life be a temp.
