About Supplemental Staffing
The supplemental staffing industry is comprised of individuals who affiliate themselves with staffing agencies in order to work with companies on a temporary basis to support the company's endeavors. Supplemental staffing is a solution that benefits both the individual looking for employment and the company that is seeking the qualified support. This mutual benefit has provided supplemental staffing firms with an opportunity to successfully match millions of workers to millions of jobs over the years, a trend that will continue for many years to come. Supplemental staffing firms in the Unites States today now employ millions of temporary and contract workers each and every day. Workforce flexibility and an opportunity for both the employee and employer to test the work relationship prior to possible permanent employment are the primary reasons for the sustained activity in this business sector. Successful firms have leveraged this relationship opportunity as a competetive advantage; heightened flexibility to match labor with business needs and volumes and optimizing labor costs are just two examples.

Employer Responsibilities
The benefits of utilizing the supplemental staffing service are obvious. Perhaps not as obvious are the increased responsibilities of the employer that are necessary to ensure success in employing temporary workers. Vendor selection, employee screening, personnel management, contract negotiations and standardization, cost management, and quality control are just a few of the areas that internal Staffing and Human Resource Departments need to consider in their use of the supplemental staffing services. In order to ensure that the employment relationship is a cost effective solution to supporting sustained business success and growth, it is essential that the additional employer responsibilities are properly managed.

The Supplemental Staffing Program (SSP)
The Supplemental Staffing Program (SSP) is a unique industry concept developed exclusively by SSMC. The SSP is unique due to its two component structure. The first component establishes a formal process to support the procurement of supplemental staffing services. This aspect of the SSP is comprehensive, considering not only the initial RFP and procurement process, but by also providing management with full relationship support during the entire contract period. The second component offers an on-line system to support this process. This on-line system is modular in design, offering optional use for each and every system function. The SSP defines a process that supports the full life cycle, while the on-line system (Web SSP) complements this process by providing a secure means of shared communications between both the staffing agencies and the businesses they serve. The SSP was created by leveraging SSMC's in-depth industry experience with staffing across a wide variety of industries. The result was implementation of an on-line system to support all aspects of the business model. Web SSP has comprehensive functionality that supports the full life cycle of the supplemental staffing process, from the initial RFP process through to the completion of individual employment engagements.
