Making the Most of Temporary Help

Article Abstract:

Temporary services offer guidelines for employers to adhere to when planning to employ a temporary. The president of Uniforce Temporary Personnel says employers should be prepared for the temporary and should identify the 'corporate culture' so that temporaries blend in. Manpower's president says evaluating an operator's ability needs to include a measurement of how well separate tasks are performed in the context of the whole job. Olsten Temporary Services says getting the most return on money spent on temporaries is achieved by looking for specific skills, being realistic about the workload, being prepared, appointing one supervisor, spelling out instructions, and checking the temporary's progress. Other temporary services with related guidelines are Temporaries (Washington, D.C.) Personnel Pool of America, Norrell, Word Processors Personnel Services, and Accountemps. Situations calling for temporary services include phasing out a service or starting a new one, filling positions with high turnover rates, tranferring records to a computer, or filling positions where the work schedule is difficult. A table indicates a comparison of employee salary rates to actual employer costs. A checklist for obtaining the best results from temporary employees is provided from material developed by Employers Overload (Minneapolis, MN).

Reaping the Benefits of Central Dictation

Article Abstract:

Central dictating systems have the potential to eventually transmit dictation from multiple sources that would be melded into a continuous output stream for on-line review, analysis, and action. Developments in voice recognition techniques, with voice input being converted directly to visual output, will affect dictating systems. Document editing will be accomplished verbally as well as visually. Major users of central dictating systems are large organizations such as those in the insurance, legal, accounting and real estate professions, and medical and financial institutions. A listing of the major features of four central dictation systems is included.
