In the face of Nigeria’s challenging economic landscape, and with businesses seeking innovative solutions to stay agile and responsive, Strategic Outsourcing Limited (SOL), a leading outsourcing firm, has introduced its Temporary Staff Services (TSS) to provide businesses with a flexible, efficient, and a more cost-effective approach to workforce management.
The current economic climate in Nigeria requires that businesses remain adaptable to survive and thrive and SOL addition to its suite of solutions offer a lifeline to companies needing to quickly scale their workforce without the long-term commitment and overhead costs associated with permanent hires.
A statement issued in Lagos on Monday, 12 August, 2024, noted that by delivering skilled temporary employees within days, SOL, which began operation eighteen years ago, ensures that businesses can respond swiftly to market demands, production schedules, and project deadlines.
The statement signed by Dr. Akin Olaniyan, General Manager, Brand Strategy and Communication at SOL read in part: “TSS stands out by offering a structured approach to people management, addressing workforce shortages precisely when they occur”.
the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, SOL, Dr. Olufemi Ogunlowo, said that the service is particularly valuable for businesses experiencing fluctuating demand, enabling them to maintain productivity without the burden of excessive labour costs throughout the year.
“By plugging staffing gaps only when needed, SOL helps companies maintain optimal operational efficiency. Many industries face seasonal peaks or project-based requirements that necessitate a flexible workforce and SOL’s TSS addresses these needs by providing temporary staff tailored to the specific timeframe of demand,” he explained.
This model, according to Dr. Ogunlowo, allows businesses to meet their seasonal needs without the financial strain of maintaining a larger permanent workforce year-round.
Explaining further why the TSS is unique in design, he said, “One of the critical challenges in today’s business environment is the mismatch between operational needs and workforce management and SOL’s Temporary Staff Services effectively bridges this gap by ensuring resources are allocated exactly when required with the alignment helping businesses to maintain continuity, achieve their goals, and enhance overall performance.
“By leveraging SOL’s extensive network and expertise, businesses can secure the skilled workers they need at critical times. This service not only enhances operational agility but also allows business leaders to focus on core activities without interruption,” he stated
