According to the Swiss Staffingindex, the staff leasing sector saw a drop in the first quarter of 2019. The number of working hours rendered fell by 1.3% compared with the same quarter in the previous year. This decrease in business activity is due to the fact that Switzerland is at a late stage of its growth cycle: firstly, demand for new staff is falling as a result of declining incoming orders, and secondly, companies are converting existing temporary positions into permanent ones.
Bridging Function Still Important Across All Economic Phases One in two temporary workers seeking permanent employment found their desired position within 24 months of beginning temporary employment. This was ascertained by a new survey of temporary workers undertaken by gfs-zürich on behalf of swissstaffing. Even in times of economic difficulty, the flexibility of staff leasing and the support of a staff leasing provider helps workers to quickly find their way back into working life and obtain a permanent position. Further findings of this survey can be seen in the recent white paper "Temporary Work between Labor Market Integration and the Skills Shortage", published in April 2019.
