My blog on Labour Brokers produced a number of responses pointing out the benefits the TES (temporary employment service) provided – particularly flexibility. For short term needs, especially for smaller companies, a TES meets that need and does provide the opportunity for the “temp” to make show their value and obtain permanent employment. There will always be a need for “temp” staff – but are they the only solution?

Now it’s important to note that this is a food establishment – all employees are required to wear protective clothing in compliance with food safety regulations. So the clothing worn “to work” will be placed in a locker until going home time.
