Summer Solutions: How Temporary Work Benefits Everyone

As summer hits its stride, individuals and businesses alike often face unique challenges that demand flexible and efficient solutions. From parents balancing work with childcare to students eager to earn extra cash and businesses striving to meet the surge in demand during the holiday rush, temporary work emerges as a versatile answer. Temporary work doesn’t just fill gaps; it creates opportunities. For workers, temporary jobs provide flexibility to balance life’s demands while earning. For businesses, they ensure productivity and service quality remain high. At Thrive, we’re here to help both job seekers and businesses make the most of the summer season. So whether you’re looking to gain valuable experience, keep your business running smoothly, or simply make the most of your summer, temporary work can be your key to success!Flexibility for Parents: Balancing Work and Childcare Summer holidays can be a tricky time for parents. With children off school, finding a balance between work and childcare can become a daunting task. This is where temporary work comes in as a lifesaver. Temporary positions offer the flexibility that parents need during this period, allowing them to pick up shifts that fit around their family commitments. More than half (51%) of low-income working parents have been forced to cut back their work hours to juggle childcare responsibilities, as reported by Working Families. In response to these staggering numbers, temporary work allows parents to maintain an income without sacrificing time with their children, offering a practical solution to the summer childcare dilemma. We have a range of shift work vacancies listed on our website, providing parents with the opportunity to find roles that suit their schedules. From administrative roles to customer service positions, the variety of jobs available ensures that parents can find something that fits their skills and needs.Easing Business Pressure: Support During the Holiday Season For many businesses, the summer brings an influx of customers, increased demand, and a workforce that often dwindles as employees take their well-deserved holidays. Seasonal businesses, in particular, can find this period challenging as they try to maintain service levels with reduced staff. Temporary workers can be the perfect solution to this problem. By hiring temporary staff, businesses can maintain productivity and service quality without overburdening their permanent employees. This approach not only helps in managing the workload but also ensures that the business continues to run smoothly during the busiest times. In the UK, the summer holiday season is a peak time for industries such as hospitality, retail, and tourism. SIA reports that in June, permanent job placements dropped significantly, influenced by election uncertainties and reduced [summer] demand in the UK. In contrast, there was an increase in temporary placements as businesses sought short-term staffing solutions. This surge reflects the growing recognition among businesses of the value that temporary workers bring in keeping operations running seamlessly.Students and Seasonal Work: A Win-Win For students, summer is an ideal time to gain work experience, earn extra money, and build skills that will be valuable in their future careers. While students might be wrapping up their summer plans now, it’s never too early to start thinking about how temporary work can fit into their schedules next year. Thrive Group offers a variety of roles that can align with academic commitments and help students make the most of their summer breaks, whether through local opportunities or exciting ventures further afield. Additionally, in areas like Wakefield, Thrive is extending its reach by providing staff for festivals and large-scale events across the UK. These opportunities, slightly outside our usual offerings, present an exciting option for students and other job seekers.Extra Flexibility with the Holiday Buy Back Scheme In addition to temporary work opportunities, some businesses are adopting innovative solutions like the “Holiday Buy Back” scheme. This allows employees to sell back a portion of their unused holiday entitlement in exchange for additional pay. It’s a practical option for those who prefer extra income over taking time off, and it also benefits businesses by ensuring they have more staff available during peak summer periods. Such schemes highlight the growing trend towards flexibility in the workplace, offering a tailored approach to meet both employee and employer needs.Maximise Your Summer Potential Summer is a time of possibilities, whether you're striving to balance work and family, navigate your business through the holiday rush, or seek out unique job opportunities. Temporary work offers the flexibility, support, and solutions you need to make the most of this season. This summer, don’t just get by—thrive. Let us guide you toward a more rewarding and stress-free season. Explore the opportunities on our website today and discover how temporary work can turn your summer challenges into successes.

Embracing Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace

With June being Pride Month, this is an excellent opportunity to reflect on the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Not only is fostering an inclusive environment the right thing to do, but it also brings substantial benefits to businesses, enhancing creativity, productivity, and employee satisfaction. The Importance of Diversity and Inclusion Diversity and inclusion are critical components of a thriving workplace, encompassing differences in race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, and abilities. Inclusion involves creating a culture where these differences are valued and integrated. In the UK, employment rates vary significantly across different groups, with "White: Other White" individuals having a 74.4% employment rate compared to 30.0% for "Black, Black Welsh, Black British, Caribbean, African: Caribbean" individuals. The Office for National Statistics reported that this ethnic group [had] the smallest percentage of adults aged 30 to 49 in employment. Notably, LGBTQ+ employees also face unique challenges, with 18% reporting negative comments or conduct from colleagues. Benefits of an Inclusive Workplace 1. Enhanced Creativity and Innovation: Diverse teams bring varied perspectives, driving creativity and effective problem-solving. 2. Improved Employee Performance: Inclusive environments boost engagement and productivity. Employees who feel valued and included are more likely to be engaged and motivated, leading to higher productivity and better overall performance. This is true across all demographics. 3. Attracting Top Talent: A reputation for being an inclusive employer can help attract a broader range of candidates. Talented individuals from diverse backgrounds often seek out employers who are committed to diversity and inclusion. 4. Better Decision Making: Diverse teams are better at making decisions as they consider a wider range of options and perspectives, leading to more balanced and effective outcomes. 5. Stronger Company Reputation: Commitment to diversity enhances reputation, customer loyalty, and business opportunities. Practical Steps for Recruitment Agencies 1. Educate Yourself and Your Team: Provide training on unconscious bias and inclusive practices. Address issues like the 24% of black and Asian employees experiencing discrimination and 18% of LGBTQ+ employees facing negative conduct. 2. Review and Revise Job Descriptions: Ensure that job descriptions are free from biased language that might discourage diverse candidates from applying. Focus on skills and qualifications rather than cultural fit. 3. Expand Your Talent Pool: Go beyond traditional recruitment channels to reach a more diverse range of candidates. Partner with organisations and networks that support underrepresented groups, including LGBTQ+ advocacy groups. 4. Promote Inclusive Hiring Practices: Implement blind recruitment techniques where possible, removing names and other identifying information from applications to reduce bias. Ensure interview panels are diverse and trained in inclusive interviewing techniques. 5. Celebrate and Recognise Diversity: Use Pride Month as an opportunity to celebrate the diversity within your own team and the teams you help build. Share success stories and highlight the benefits of inclusive workplaces in your communications and marketing materials. Moving Forward Together Embracing diversity and inclusion is a business advantage. During Pride Month, recruitment agencies have the opportunity to lead by example and advocate for inclusive hiring practices. This commitment is reinforced by statistics showing disparities in workplace satisfaction and success among different groups. For instance, only 61% of black and Asian employees believe people with similar backgrounds can succeed at their company, which was 8% lower than their white peers. Nearly 40% of LGBTQ+ employees feel the need to hide their identity at work due to fear of discrimination. Let’s make this Pride Month a catalyst for lasting change in the workplace. Embrace diversity, promote inclusion, and watch your business and your clients thrive.
