Why develop a relief team?
What are the advantages of having a relief team?
+ -For organisations with a large ad hoc shift need, it's preferred to have a team available that know the organisation and are familiar with the processes, procedures and protocols as it can mean less management time and less support is needed.
How do relief teams save organisations money?
+ -By reducing the use of recruitment agencies, organisations can save over 40%.
How is quality improved by having an internal relief team?
+ -By directly employing contingent staff, organisations have the opportunity to train and manage the workforce, resulting in better outcomes for all stakeholders.
How do organisation create internal relief team?
+ -To build a successful, well functioning relief team, it's important to think carefully and plan ahead. As for all employees, the critical infrastructure needs to be in place before you start, which as a minimum, needs to include:
+ Recruitment criteria
+ Contracts (zero hours / casual contract)
+ Rates of pay
+ Job descriptions
+ Line management
+ System onboarding
+ Payroll processes
How are the staff that make up the relief team generally recruited?
+ -To successfully develop an internal talent pool, organisations need to be creative and establish different pathways to attract and recruit flexible workers. It's not uncommon for talent pools to be made up of:
+ Past applicants
+ Former employees (boomerang hires)
+ Referrals
+ People met at events
+ Individuals identified through proactive sourcing
What are the reasons internal relief teams fail?
+ -The principal reasons why workers join talent pools is to work when they're available and to get paid. If the hiring organisation doesn't have work available or doesn't have the infrastructure to make the contingent workforce aware of work opportunities, they will leave. Similarly with pay, if the payment process isn't well managed, the workforce will become frustrated and look elsewhere for work.
Can Axis relief teams help us to put the processes and procedures in place to get started and help us to maintain it?
+ -Absolutely. We have over 20 year's experience helping clients to build successful relief teams. We also have the software infrastructure that facilitates all aspects of onboarding, shift management, time and attendance and payroll reporting.
