Current Employee – been working at Adecco as a contractor for less than a year
Pros – Having failed to find me work in the past Adecco, strived to help me this time, consequently found me the perfect placement
Cons – As with all agencies, there is a risk of sudden changes and little job stability
Advice to Senior Management – Although, there has been no work for administrators when I last visited the Preston office, other office based roles may have been suitable, little was done to help me find work even though I had high experience in a range of office roles.

Advice to Senior Management – Listen. The people on the coal face doing the job are the ones facibng the objections. Whilst not all of the direction needs to be influenced this way utilise the intelligence of the talent you employ to steer your business and create buy in
