How to Create a Culture That Keeps Temporary Workers Coming Back

Give your business culture the time, energy, and resources it deserves. That way, temporary workers will want to come back to your company. Plus, your company can reap the benefits of having a culture where every employee is given the opportunity to thrive.

Below are tips you can use to foster a culture that drives temp workers to continue to pursue opportunities with your business. 

Be Open and Honest with Your Temporary Workers

Treat your temp workers in the same way you would permanent employees. Set up regular one-on-ones with your temporary personnel. These meetings allow your temp employees to share their thoughts and feedback. Meanwhile, you can provide your workers with insights into their performance and help them reach their full potential. 

Provide Career Development Opportunities

Allow your temporary workers to grow their careers with your business. Offer training programs and other career development initiatives to these employees. That way, your temp workers can bolster their skill set. They'll also see that your company is willing to invest in their career success.

Recognize Your Temp Workers' Achievements 

Reward your temporary workers. Provided gift cards or other bonuses for workers who perform at or above expectations. In addition, highlight your temp workers' achievements during team gatherings and other company meetings. 

Personalize employee recognition whenever possible. For example, a handwritten thank-you note can go a long way toward showing a temp employee how much you value them. This note and similar recognition could make a difference as this individual decides whether to pursue a role with your business or one of your rivals after their work contract ends. 

Simplify Your Onboarding and Training Processes

Make your business' onboarding and training process seamless. Ideally, these processes allow temp workers to join your team and hit the ground running immediately. At the same time, they can teach these employees about your culture and how they are now a part of it. 

Review and Revamp Your Company Culture Periodically

Ask your temp workers how they feel about your company's culture. Conduct questionnaires and surveys to gain these insights. From here, you'll get data you can utilize to assess your culture and make sure it resonates with your entire team. 

Remember, your company is constantly evolving, and your culture should do the same. If you find your culture is out of alignment with your business' mission, values, and goals, find out why this is the case. Next, you can make changes to your culture, which could help your company stand out from its rivals and keep your temp workers interested in coming back.
