Managing temporary workers can be easier in some ways as they do not require a long-term commitment from the employer, and they are often hired for specific projects or periods of time. This can make it easier to adjust the workforce according to the company's changing needs. Additionally, the company may not be responsible for providing benefits such as health insurance or paid time off, which can save on costs.
However, managing temporary workers can also be more difficult in some ways. For example, temporary workers may require more training and supervision since they are not as familiar with the company's policies and procedures. Additionally, they may not be as invested in the company's success since they are not permanent employees, which could result in lower productivity and motivation.
If I were in a contingent or temporary job versus a traditional permanent job, I would likely behave differently. In a temporary job, I may feel less invested in the company and more focused on completing my assigned tasks, since there is no long-term commitment. In a permanent job, however, I would likely feel more invested in the company's success and would be more willing to take on additional responsibilities or go the extra mile to help the company achieve its goals.
