Do you have the workload but not the workforce?
Typically, bio/pharmaceutical companies use two types of staff—either their own employees or a temporary workforce. In today’s economic environment, fewer firms are adding employees to their payroll and instead are turning to temporary workers to meet their expanded workloads; however, temporary pharma staffing solutions pose a magnitude of challenges for the end user, including:
- Companies using temporary workers face many restrictions to avoid coemployment concerns, including turnover and continual training.
- European regulations, such as the EU Temporary Agency’s Workers Directive 2008/104, enforce equal treatment of permanent and agency workers in respect to working time, pay and other employment rights.
- Temporary scientific staffing does not work for long-term needs, as there is typically a maximum timeframe for temporary employees in each country or company.
