Temporary staff can be the backbone of your business, and it is keeping them engaged and motivated is critical to keep up with demand during busy periods.

Here are a few simple ways to make a big difference:

1. Set clear expectations. From day one, make sure your temp staff know their role, goals, and how success will be measured.
2. Include them in the team. A quick introduction, a shared lunch, or a small acknowledgment helps temps feel part of the crew.
3. Give feedback. Everyone appreciates knowing when they’re doing a great job. Constructive feedback helps them improve.
4. Recognise reliability. A simple “thank you” or rebooking a reliable worker shows that their effort is valued.

Motivated temporary workers are more productive, more loyal, and more likely to represent your business positively.
