The GFC has started to recover in Australia but the GFC has accelerated the trend for employers to use a greater proportion of temporary and contract workers.

According to WPM’s Managing Director Ben Wilson, “The GFC was a challenge for a lot of organizations, but on the other hand it made people more aware of the necessity to have a well-functioning labor market”.

Redundancies resulting from the global downturn had been a wake-up call for employers, and had made it easier for WPM to educate its clients about the benefits of increasing their temporary staff mix.
