Why Hiring a Temp Can Support Your Organisation's Success

March 11, 2025

In today’s fast-paced workplace, flexibility is key. Whether you're dealing with unexpected absences, shifting workloads, or require support whilst you hire, temporary staff can provide the flexibility and expertise you need, exactly when you need it. Here’s why a temporary hire might be best for you:


1. Ensure Continuous Staff Coverage

Sickness, annual leave, or parental leave can disrupt operations. Temporary employees step in to fill these gaps, keeping your team running smoothly without overburdening existing staff.


2. Smooth Transitions Between Hires

If an employee leaves before their replacement starts, a temp can provide essential handover support. This minimises disruption and ensures business continuity while you take the time to hire the right permanent candidate.


3. Support Restructures & Redundancies

During periods of organisational change, maintaining business operations is crucial. Temporary staff offer flexibility, allowing you to adjust resources while navigating restructures or workforce transitions.


4. Boost Project Support

Temporary employees can free up your permanent team by taking on administrative tasks or short-term projects. This allows your key staff to focus on strategic priorities without getting overwhelmed by additional workload.


5. Manage Peak Workloads Without Overloading Staff

Sudden workload increases can put pressure on your team, leading to burnout and reduced productivity. Instead of stretching your existing employees too thin, temps can step in to handle the extra work and maintain efficiency.

(By Alma Raheem) One of the things I value most about working in executive search is the chance to spend time with leaders outside of a live recruitment process. More often than not, we meet CEOs at very specific moments, whether that’s appointing a new executive, navigating a period of change, or thinking about succession. Those conversations are important, but they’re usually quite focused on a particular outcome. What we don’t always get the opportunity to do is step back and have a broader conversation about leadership itself. As part of our Leadership Conversations series, I recently sat down with Susanne Legena, CEO of Plan International Australia. Susanne is widely respected in the global social change space, with deep experience across climate justice, gender equality and international development. Alongside her CEO role, she is Chair of the Emergency Action Alliance, a Board Director at CommUnity Plus, and has recently joined the board of the Australian Conservation Foundation. I asked Susanne five questions about leadership, executive readiness and where the for-purpose sector is heading. We covered a lot of ground, from AI through to feedback, but what stayed with me most was how often the conversation came back to the same idea: leadership really starts with how you lead yourself. As we spoke, I found myself reflecting on how much of this applies more broadly, so I’ve included a few questions throughout for anyone who wants to pause and consider their own leadership along the way.
