SUBJECT:        Data Needed on Temporary Workers

Jane,

Please answer the questions listed below about the use of temporary help in your department.

With your ideas we plan to develop a policy that will help us improve the process of budgeting, selecting, and hiring temporaries.

1. What is the average number of temporary office workers employed in your department each month?
2. What is the average length of a temporary worker's assignment in your department?
3. What specific job skills are you generally seeking in your temporaries?
4. What temporary agencies are you now using?

By replying before January 20, you will have direct input into the new policy, which we will be developing at the end of the month. This improved policy will help you fill your temporary employment needs more quickly and more efficiently.

Thank you for your assistance.
