When you bring a temporary or permanent employee on board, you are responsible for both the safety of that worker and that worker’s impact on the rest of your team’s safety. This is especially true for engineering and technical staffing, as well as light and skilled industrial staffing. That’s a lot of responsibility, so you need a staffing firm to steer you through the process.
Protecting Your Employees. Protecting Your Company. Protecting You.
Each employee that The Performance Group places receives employee safety training so he/she has a thorough awareness of what’s required to keep your workplace and your workers safe. That employee, along with the rest of your team, gains access to a wealth of protective benefits. By protecting all of your employees, both internal and external, we’re also helping to protect you.
