Hiring a temporary employee can present challenges as it is an adjustment for everyone. It is important that the temp feels welcomed and included on the team. Properly preparing your internal team will give them and the temp employee a more positive experience.

• Give the team notice before the temp arrives. Being caught off guard can be overwhelming, especially if the temp is going to change the normal rhythm.
• Explain the reasoning for needing additional staff. People will naturally have questions and it’s best to address the issue right away.
• Give them assurance. Ease their concerns and ensure them that their jobs are not being jeopardized and that their roles have not changed.
• Remind your team that hiring temporary staff will benefit them. An unbalanced work life is a common cause of job dissatisfaction.
• Allow their opinions to be heard. Encourage your staff to communicate with you in regards to the temp employee.
