Three challenges to growth for the staff leasing sector in 2019
The staff leasing sector has three challenges to overcome in 2019. The CBA on Staff Leasing, extended at the beginning of the year, once again raises the minimum wage in the sector and makes staff leasing more expensive. This is taking place in a difficult environment where both the Swiss and international economies are becoming noticeably weaker. This has caused a decline in staff leasing requirements during peak workloads. Brexit and the consequences of U.S. politics, such as the current shutdown and the constant, lingering threat of a trade dispute, are also having an adverse effect on economic prospects. Staff leasing companies can tap into growth potential in the fields of new HR services and digitalization: for example, internet platforms such as Adia, Coople and Smartfinder are combining the flexibility of the internet with social security via the CBA on Staff Leasing.
