How to Get Maximum Productivity from Our Employees

Thank you for selecting TEMPORARILY YOURS to provide temporary staffing to your office. We would like to offer the following suggestions to make your experience with our temporary as productive as possible.


  • TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO ORIENT THE EMPLOYEE TO THEIR WORK AREA. For example, introduce the temporary employee to the appropriate people in your office and give them a quick tour of the office. Make your training manual and/or phone extension sheet available. Taking these few minutes to orient the temporary employee to your environment will be worth the effort - it will help them to feel comfortable and perform their best.

  • IF THEY ARE ANSWERING TELEPHONES, EXPLAIN EXACTLY HOW YOU WOULD LIKE CALLS TO BE ANSWERED. In addition, please have your company address, phone number, fax number, website address, internal phone list, etc. available to the temporary employee. These commonly asked questions can be quickly answered by the temporary receptionist if s/he has the information at hand! Also, take a moment to introduce the temporary employee to the person they should ask if a question arises and you are not available. The last thing we ever want is for someone from our agency to say "I donıt know, Iım just a temp."

  • IF THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR GREETING GUESTS, WHAT SPECIAL PROTOCOL DOES YOUR COMPANY HAVE? For example, would the temporary employee offer a beverage or hang coats?

  • ON THE FIRST DAY, please have the temporary employee show you their timeslip so you will be familiar with the format we use. Your placement coordinator will be happy to answer any questions you may have. If you will not be there at the end of the assignment, please designate someone in your office to sign in your absence. The pink copy of the timeslip is for your records.

  • IF THE TEMPORARY IS DOING A GREAT JOB WITH THE DUTIES YOU HAVE ASSIGNED, and you would like to add more responsibility to the position, please call your placement coordinator. If the temporary has the appropriate qualifications, we will modify our order and if necessary, adjust the pay and bill rates accordingly. Conversely, if you feel that the person is overqualified, we will be happy to search for someone to perform a different set of duties at a lower pay and bill rate. Please do not assign any tasks to a temporary that involve driving. We do not allow them to drive company vehicles or their own vehicle due to insurance restrictions. Please contact your placement coordinator with any questions.

  • IF YOU HAVE EMAIL, itıs a nice touch to email your coworkers with the temporary's full name so they can greet them on their way past the work area. Our goal is to consistently send qualified staffing to your office. If, for any reason, you are not happy with the temporaryıs performance in the first eight hours of the assignment, call the placement coordinator immediately. You will not be charged for the dayıs work. Our placement coordinators are here to work with you to ensure your satisfaction time after time. We are ready when you need us!
