Show your appreciation to your temporary workers. By doing so, you can make temp workers feel valued. These employees may be more prone than ever before to give 100% to their work. They could help your company match or surpass its goals.
Benefits of Showing Appreciation to Your Temporary Workforce
A recent Gallup poll highlights the value of showing workers you appreciate them. In the poll, one in three U.S. workers said they strongly agreed that they received recognition or praise for doing good work in a given seven-day period. In addition, workers who do not feel adequately recognized said they are twice as likely than others to quit in the next year.
Ultimately, temp workers are vital contributors to your company's success. As such, you should show appreciation to them in the same way you would other employees. This allows all workers — temporary and permanent alike — to feel appreciated. It limits the risk of cliques forming across your workforce. Plus, it helps promote unity and collaboration across your team.
Of course, when you show appreciation to temp workers, these individuals may be increasingly inclined to pursue permanent roles with your business. If a temp employee feels appreciated and you believe they are a great long-term fit for your team, you can offer them a permanent position. This individual may be ready to accept the position and become a key part of your team for years to come.
