2. Organization Structure
Define Job Tasks:
An organization structure defines how job tasks are formally divided, grouped and coordinated.
There are six elements need to address when design the organization’s structure.
1. Work Specialization: - refers to the degree to which tasks in the organization are
subdivided into separate jobs. The essence of work specialization is that, rather than an entire job
being done by one individual, it is broken down into a number of steps, with each step being
completed by a separate individual.
2. Departmentalization: - Once the jobs have been divided through work specialization,
these jobs have to be grouped together so that common tasks can be coordinated. The basis by
which jobs are grouped together is called departmentalization.
3. Chain of Command: - is an unbroken line of authority that extends from the top of the
organization to the lowest level and clarifies who reports to whom. It answers questions for
employees such as” To whom do I go if I have a problem?” and ‘To whom am I responsible?”
4. Span of control: - refers to the number of subordinates a manager can efficiently and
effectively direct.
5. Centralization and Decentralization: - Centralization refers to the degree to which
decision making is concentrated at a single point in the organization. In a decentralized
organization, action can be taken more quickly to solve problem, more people provide input into
decisions.
6. Formalization: - refers to the degree to which job within the organization are
standardized.
: Temporary Recruitment :
Effective temporary recruitment is quick, efficient and provides a strong level of “fit” between
the requirements of clients and the skills, attitude and behaviors of candidates. As a result, we
follow a specific and rigorous process to ensure that the “best fit” temporary staff can be quickly
sourced and placed to meet the individual needs of situation.
Temporary Worker:
A temporary worker is someone employed for a limited period whose job is usually expected by
both sides to last for only a short time. Temporary workers may be employed directly by the
employer or by private agencies. Agencies will recruit, select and sometimes train temporary
workers and hire them out to employers.
Temporary workers are sometimes employed on fixed term contracts. A fixed term contract is a
contract of employment for a definite period, set in advance. Employment ends when the
contract expires and no notice need be given by the employer. Employment contracts may also
be agreed which end on the completion of a particular task rather than on a specific date.
: Advantages :

3. Interviewed & References:
- The people that are hired through a temp agency are interviewed and their references
checked. When you no longer need them you can inform the agency and let them go. If the time
comes that you need someone else you can go back to the agency and request that someone be
sent out.
Temporary Demand:
- Temporary employees can provide specialist skills to carry out specific projects. A
business point of view it makes economic sense to offer short-term contracts and buy-in talents,
skills and extra labor only when needed.
Maintain Staff Flexibility:
- Temporary workers can provide greater flexibility because the number employed can
vary to take account of changes in demand for the product or service.
Employee Absence:
- Temporary workers can also provide cover for permanent staff on holiday, maternity
leave or sick leave
Perfect Candidate:
- Hiring a temp can also be a good way to continue getting work done while you are
searching for the perfect candidate for the particular job.
Initial Low Cost:
- The cost of hiring temp workers is often cheaper than the cost of hiring permanent
employees with the benefits. In the short term, it is generally more cost-efficient to hire a
temp.
Specialist Skills:
- The cost of hiring the permanent employee in some matter is high as compared to hire of
temp worker e.g. in the filed of law, doctors etc. Possible to get / attract talent that client may not
able to get as it may be a startup or corporate branding in not strong.
Overload Work:
- They can fill vacancies when your full time employees are vacationing, taking maternity
leave, or otherwise cannot temporarily fill their position. This will help so that other full time
employees don’t suddenly feel overloaded in their workload or so that simply your company
doesn’t fall behind but simply keeps functioning on schedule.
Special Tasks/ Projects:
- Temporary employees can be hired for specific projects that need undertaking but are
not usually a need in your office. For example, if your company decides to put up a web site you
may also decide to hire a creative team who can design this web site for you. If you do, then
these will be temporary employees who will fill a need and then no longer be employed by your
company.
Training:
- The agency is responsible for and bears the financial burden of recruiting, screening,
testing and hiring workers; payroll expenses and paperwork; workers’ compensation insurance;

4. and any employee benefits they may wish to provide. Some agencies even provide training such
as software application tutorials.
Need of Business:
- Temporary employees can be brought in when there’s more work, and let go when
there’s less work. Allowing for the work to ride along with your budget and not having to
overpay for work that isn’t needed.
: Disadvantages :
Motivation:
- Some employers find that temporary workers lack motivation and commitment.
Most temp employees won’t have the motivations of your regular employees and may not work
as hard as you may want or need them.
Dependence on Agencies:
- The lowest prices do not always deliver the best workers. Businesses which
use agency ‘temps’ depend on the screening and testing methods used by the agency.
Low Focus on Goals:
- Short term financial gain will lead to low focus on building service accelerators,
reusable components/frameworks, and knowledgebase. Every time you see a new face and need
a learning curve to be productive.
Instability/ No Security:
- One of the biggest problems temp workers face is instability. A freelancer's worst
nightmare is accepting a month long assignment and scarcely two weeks later hearing those
dreaded words: "I'm sorry; we won't need you tomorrow."
Training Needs:
- Every time a temp starts a new work assignment – no matter how skilled or
unskilled – a certain amount of training is required in order for them to perform their assigned
tasks to suit the specific needs of that company. Of course, if the same temp is brought back
again, this might not be required.
Morale Issues:
- Morale and employee relations problems can arise when you have temps working
alongside permanent employees for months, doing the same work and putting in the same hours,
but not receiving the same benefits afforded their permanent employee coworkers.
Legal Concerns:
- Recent court decisions have highlighted the fact that businesses must be careful how
they contract for temporary staff. There must be no doubt about the workers’ status and about
the lack of eligibility for the benefits of permanent employees. And treat temp workers with the
same respect and care you would for your permanent staff.
