More Electrical Contractors Outsourcing Labor

Electrical contractors are looking for ways to trim costs, save time and return focus to their core business practices.

(PRWEB) March 26, 2005 -- Electrical contractors are throwning their hands - and tools - in the air for good reason. Faced with meeting deadlines at the job site, they are also struggling to keep pace with the overwhelming demands of human resource management. Toss in rising Worker's Compensation and liability insurance rates to turn faces bright red. Electrical contractors are asking, What can I do to stop the chaos?"

The word is out, find a specialized electrical labor staffing firm and return to the core business process -- electrical contracting. Strategy Construction Company, a Colorado Springs, CO based niche staffing company is leading electrical contractors out of the dark. They are electricians, an electrical contractor, are HR staffing experts and offer more than 34 years experience in the electrical trade.

Since Strategy Construction Company, not the client electrical contractor is the employer, functions like payroll, tax withholding, Social Security, Workers Compensation and Unemployment Insurance deductions, health insurance, and other benefits, if any, are handled. The staffing company also prepares required tax reports, distributes W-2s to electricians, and does all the other paper-shuffling tasks imposed on employers by government. Temporary electricians are a flexible addition rather than a part of permanent overhead. This eliminates unexpected and often demoralizing layoffs. It also eliminates Workers Compensation and unemployment payments the electrical contractor would otherwise have to process, contest or par. In this cyclical industry, it is a big plus!

Electrical contractors, specifically those with minimal office and staff support and inadequate time to attract, screen and assess qualifications, background and work history of electricians. In contrast, most staffing companies have a time invested and well-developed rapport with the electricians that are recommended for placement to a given job site. This includes full understanding of their skill, past performance level and facilitates the probability of a more successful and faster placement. In addition, turnaround time between a request and arrival of help at the job site is much faster. Longer lead-time allows a more skill selective process to occur and is critical in planning future projects. Electrical contractors also enjoy the benefits of hiring temporary electricians for positions that will ultimately become permanent. They can evaluate the electrician before making a commitment to hire full-time.

It is a win-win situation! Collaborating with a staffing service, electrical contractors can better manage project management goals, materials ordering, interface with key personnel and still have time for other unexpected events during busy weeks, without having to pay overtime to core employees. Juggling between a job site and personnel is no longer necessary. Now, with one phone call, an effective and time-saving solution is provided. Use the time saved to generate additional revenue and grow!
