White Paper – Safety Nets and Lifelines: How temporary work promotes integration in the labor market and safeguards flexible work
The world of work is polarized. Crises, competitive pressure, digitalization, and disruptive business models are changing the economy and job profiles at an unknown speed. Workers too are redefining their personal needs as a result of labor shortages, demographic development and societal change.
Two types of workers have emerged from the fault line of these developments: firstly, people who have fallen into a fragile phase of employment against their wishes, and secondly, workers striving for freedom that know how to use the opportunities of a changing world.
This White Paper details the results of a survey of more than 6000 temporary workers and indicate:
- In many cases, temporary employment is a bridge that guides people from unemployment into permanent employment.
- And it allows those who do want to work flexibly the opportunity to work within a framework secured by law and social partnership.
- That staffing service providers are strong partners that provide a tailored response to the needs of both of these groups.
- To this end, temporary work also ensures social security and opportunities for further training.
- That, today, temporary work is already a proven solution to solve the challenges of tomorrow.
