Tracking Reports

Q2 2008 Tracking Results – available now! 

In January 2006, the Unit commissioned BMG Research to undertake a monthly tracking survey with three key audiences: employers, agencies and agency workers.  Every month 100 interviews are completed with each audience providing a 360o profile that can be tracked over time.  Results are reported on a quarterly basis using a three month rolling average. 

Key findings from this research are presented in this report. These data are NOT yet seasonally adjusted. 
  • The trend in the number of registered workers seems to be falling since August 07
  • The number of workers on assignment is relatively stable this quarter
  • Employers use of agencies remained the same this quarter
  • Fewer workers said it was easy to find temporary work in Q2
  • The number of agencies that workers have registered with seems to have stabilised
  • The number of assignments worked on has fallen in the last year, with a slight upturn in Q2
  • Satisfaction with temporary work remains stable and at a consistently high level
  • Agency staff satisfaction has risen to previous levels after the recent drop

The full results from the Q2 tracking programme are available - for more information and advanced orders for the Q3 report please contact Alex Hutton on 020 7009 2148 or alex.hutton@rec.uk.com
