STAFF MANAGEMENT

Staff management is the management of subordinates in an organization. Often, large organizations have many of these functions performed by a specialist department, such as personnel or human resources, but all line managers are still required to supervise and administer the activities and ensure the well-being of the staff that report to them.[1]

Staff managers include people who lead revenue consuming departments, for example, accounting, customer service, or human resources. They serve the line managers of the organization in an advisory or support capacity by providing them with information and advice. Furthermore, staff managers usually do not make operating decisions.

Staff management may involve moving a workforce around and utilizing human resources. Within staff management there is also line management, which involves the hierarchy system of the organization. Human resources and line management are often aligned as they both involve employees of any given organization.

CONTRACTUAL STAFFING

Contract Staffing as the name speaks is a method of recruiting required human resource on contract. This contract could take place between one company (mostly staffing firm) and an individual or between two companies.

Contract staffing is where a business hires an employee on the basis of a specific agreement. when a company is looking for a flexible way to fill a single role or several roles, they usually turn to a recruiting firm – sometimes referred to as a staffing company or search consultant – to handle the process.

The recruiting firm works with the company to determine their needs, and the recruiting firm handles details such as the contracts, the payroll, and much of the paperwork. The recruiting firm works to find qualified talent (workers), handling much of the qualifying and interview process. The worker is then hired as a contract employee (or consultant, freelancer); hired on contract for a specific job, for a specific pay rate. While they will work on-site at the workplace, they aren’t a permanent employee; their contract is with the recruiting firm.
