As the economy continues to recover, more temporary workers are being called upon to fill the needs of gradually growing demand. Temporary workers are playing a larger role in many companies' contingent workforce plans, and while their status is different than their permanent coworkers, their sense of involvement and investment in the company can be just as beneficial to the bottom line.

In this issue, we explore employee engagement and how it applies to your staffing approaches. The growth in the use of temporary workers is significant this quarter, and we'll look at its relationship to GDP. We'll also examine how to engage with potential employees through social media, and how to frame survey questions to measure employee engagement within the workplace.
