TEMPORARY WORKS Curiosity
According to employment companies, temporary employment like Ms. Seah’s has grown in popularity with both employers and employees.  ,
They claimed hiring many temporary workers to handle projects was more affordable than trying to replace someone with an extended leave of absence.
The companies added that companies may consider offering a mix of freelance work, momentary tasks, and short-term deals.  ,
According to associate director Tania Mustafa, the number of temporary jobs in Singapore increased by about 60 % this year.
Businesses are now more willing to have contract and temporary employees fill these project-based specialized jobs because they want to take advantage of having more efficient business solutions for skill parallelism, she said.  ,
She continued, noting that this year’s number of applicants for these positions doubled in comparison to next season.
” Many more experienced people today choose to work in contract or temporary positions because it gives them greater flexibility in how long they work.” They also have the opportunity to “learn a new talent in line with their career and personal desires.” said Ms Tania.  ,
This can be a great gate for them if they want to change careers or work in a diverse field or profession.
According to Mr. David Blasco, country director at Randstad Singapore, most employees choose to work for the sake of stability, but temporary employment may appeal to those at a point in their careers who do n’t want to put in too much effort.
They might have a work-life balance, or perhaps they are studying and need a temporary job to support a particular time difference. Those ( people ) are probably more inclined towards temporary positions”, he said.  ,
