Thank you to all our temps
National Temporary Workers Week
5-9 June 2006
05/06/06
As part of National Temporary Workers Week (NTWW), we at Crossmatch Recruitment are holding a party for all of those temps who are currently working for us to say thank you for all of their hard work throughout the year.
The temp party, to which all of our currently working temps have been invited, is our way of marking National Temporary Workers Week, a week of celebration organised nationally by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation to promote the contribution of the temporary workforce and demonstrate the broad range of professions and industries in which temps work. If you are one of our current temps who is coming to our party, there is more information in the temp members’ area of this website, including directions and other details.
