The Indian Staffing Federation (ISF), an apex body of flexi staffing industry, has said that it has facilitated jobs for over 5 million youth in the past 10 years.
ISF, which organised a national conclave recently, said flexible staffing was the answer to “new age employment” in India’s economy which was going through a gloomy phase.
“The flexi staffing industry no longer functions solely in the capacity of replacing absentee workers with temporary ones but has emerged as a strategic partner for corporate India by providing the environment, the reliability and knowledge of the regulatory framework, the scalability and flexibility to bring jobs to India aiding the process of their growth and expansion,” Rituparna Chakraborty, Vice-President, ISF, said in a release.
ISF, which has a member base of 35 firms employing about 400,000 persons, provides a platform for recognised employment, work choice, even compensation, annual benefits and health benefits for the temporary workforce, the release said.
