Is Onsite management Right For You?
Companies with high volume contingent workforces are often faced with the challenge of managing said staff. When you are looking into the variety of staffing options available to you, onsite management staffing companies such as GL Staffing Inc will come up in your search. But just what is an onsite management company and what services do they provide?
Who are Onsite Managers
On-site managers are responsible for overseeing and directing the activities of employees on a particular job site. Usually, they work on construction projects or temporary projects of various natures, ensuring that all job goals are met and the project goes according to schedule.
Onsite management is a great option for those companies who see the need to hire a fully built team and bring onboard staff managers to handle the day-to-day human resource management tasks that the project will require. Let’s take a closer look at how onsite management can work out for you.
WHAT DOES an ONSITE Manager do?
Companies that utilize a large sum of temporary staff (construction, manufacturing, warehousing, etc) in their operations, but also have full-time and part-time employees, can find that managing this diverse group of staff can be a difficult task to manage. If this sounds like your company, then onsite management may just be right for you. Temporary workers function a bit differently than other employees, (tasks, compensation, benefits, hours worked, etc) a lot of companies go the route of hiring a staffing company to provide an onsite manager. This onsite manager is solely responsible for the temporary staff. The onsite manager functions as an HR Manager for your temporary workers would act as a go-between the temporary staff and your company’s human resources department.
This reduces the administrative responsibilities that a company would need to take on when managing their temporary staff themselves, and helps them keep up with seasonal staffing demands. It also builds a more effective management relationship with the temporary workers, because they are closer to the action and able to work directly with the team to make sure they are as efficient as possible and have easy access to the support they need to succeed.
What are the BENEFITS OF having an ONSITE STAFFING MANAGER?
As an onsite manager would act as an extension of your human resources department, they are able to take away a lot of the strain of managing large groups of temporary staff for businesses. That means they take on the brunt of the administrative and hr duties associated with their team, from scheduling to timecards, payroll, to customized reports, and handling any administrative issue or conflict. All that can eat up a lot of time for an already busy project manager. It is also not likely the kind of work that they are used today in and day out. An onsite staffing manager would be responsible for all of these duties of the temporary workforce, leaving your full-time staff free to work with your other employees and focus on other responsibilities in human resources.
This is also true for those times when seasonal demands change the staffing requirements. An onsite manager would stay with you as your needs grow or shrink throughout the year. They can plan ahead for the busy season and be strategic in recruitment and onboarding activities so your company always has the support it needs when they need it.
The efficiency of temporary staff is what makes them valuable, so make sure you are getting the most out of your hires by working with an onsite manager who knows how to motivate and encourage a temporary workforce to stay productive and keep morale high. This can mean daily check-ins or conflict resolution, the manager is the one who can keep things going smoothly so you don’t have to.
