The following article is a guest post provided by Brittany Lahure From Matrix Labour Leasing Ltd.. Matrix Labour Leasing Ltd. is a full-service construction-staffing agency whose clients include both small and large companies across Canada. Matrix supports construction businesses by providing recruitment, training and benefit programs for employees.

Labor leasing agencies recruit, train and manage the talent for you. One of the biggest misconceptions about using an outside agency is the cost to the bottom line. Companies and contractors alike often think that using a construction-staffing agency will cost them money when, in fact, using the right agency can save money: the quality of talent can be higher, the HR burden is lifted, and the flexibility of a leasing agency means that you can manage the unavoidable ebb and flow of work.

Here are the top 3 reasons to use a labor leasing agency:

1. Skilled and highly specialized labor

Labor leasing agencies have access to a large number of experienced, highly skilled workers ready for fast deployment. Using a staffing agency ensures that the construction professionals are well-vetted masters of their craft.

2. HR burden is alleviated

A labor leasing agency provides more than skilled employees: it also provides human resource strategies that can save company money. By providing appropriate training, managing employee files and burdens, organizing staff for benefits, a staffing agency can save you money and time, allowing you to focus on what you do best.

3. Manage ebb and flow

Staffing agencies have networks that include passive candidates, which means that your company can easily manage the ebb and flow of work without having to add full time employees to your payroll.

Want to Walk Off a Construction Job? Do These Things First
Apr 21, 2021

One of the toughest things to deal with on any project can be the relationships between owner and general contractor or the general contractor and subcontractor. In the worst case scenarios, tensions between those relationships can sometimes lead to one of those parties packing up their tools and walking off the job before it’s complete. But that action may make the situation a little hairier than you might expect, if you don’t do it the right way.

Podcasting opens the door to listen to and enjoy so many different perspectives from across industry and across the world.

Feb 1, 2021

2020 was a challenging year in many respects, but none greater than from a safety standpoint. The coronavirus pandemic placed the notion of “people over profits” under the microscope, while also balancing the needs of their employees to continue to make an income under difficult circumstances. While the pandemic was a large part of the construction safety conversation last year, there were several other developments to take note of for your projects in the future.
