Temp Desk Rewards Scheme Launch
22 May 2007
Your chance to learn how to fly
TEMPS registered with The Temp Desk are being given the chance to win all sorts of prizes thanks to the launch of a new reward scheme.
Consultant Vicki Eppelein who heads up the recently rebranded temp desk explained that from the beginning of May points will be recorded on each temp’s weekly timesheet which can accumulate over the weeks and months they continue to temp.
Every hour worked will earn a temp one point. The reward for clocking up 250 consecutive points can be anything from a mobile phone top up card, a manicure or return trip to Sark. The maximum accumulated points of 1,000 result in a reward of an Ipod Nano, £100 shopping voucher, return flights to Jersey or even a 45 minute flying lesson!
To help kick start the rewards scheme The Temp Desk is giving away 50 points to all its temporary candidates currently out on assignment.
Miss Eppelein hopes that ‘Temp Desk Rewards’ will encourage more people to consider taking up temporary positions.
“To help curtail the shortage of available and qualified staff on the island temporary positions are even more in demand,” she said.
“Temporary jobs are available for a variety of positions from management, administrative, or secretarial as well as both long and short term contracts.
“The industry is finding it harder and harder to employ suitably qualified staff to fill the ever increasing number of vacant positions. On the other hand it suits many individuals not to take on permanent jobs and instead to opt for temping as an ideal solution in a very lucrative market.
“Even though the demand for qualified staff continues to be within the finance industry such as accountants, trust and fund administrators and banking experts, experienced secretaries and general administrators also seem to be flying out of the door too.
Employing a temp is often the solution for businesses looking for cover over holiday periods, sickness, maternity leave and busy periods.“
The Temp Desk, part of OSA Recruitment, was officially launched for business in 2004 and since then has seen significant growth year-on-year.
