The purpose of ISF is to enhance long-term growth and ensure its continued ability to make positive contributions to the economy as well as the society through the services of the Staffing Industry. The principal focus of the Federation’s activities shall be triangular employment relationships, in which the staffing company is the employer of the temporary worker, who works under the supervision of the user company.

• Streamline our legal environment fostering growth of the Industry

  Staffing Industry covers a meager 2% penetration of the possible employable size in India. Of the 400m employable in India, about 10% are employed in the organised sector, and while about 250m are self-employed. This leaves almost 110m who are employed by the temp/ flexi-staffing and the unorganised sector. ISF is working towards growing this market. To bring effect, the laws and regulations haven't taken Staffing industry / Private Employment Services into cognizance. ISF expects to interact with law making authorities to recognize Staffing industry / Private Employment Services and create adequate and appropriate laws to manage it. Establish lasting awareness of ISF amidst key stakeholders (Government, Employers, Staffing companies, Job seekers, Trade Unions, Industry bodies etc ) ISF is the apex body representing the Staffing industry / Private Employment Services that is authorised to discuss with government agencies and other trade bodies on behalf of the staffing industry/ private employment services. Staffing / private employment services is an enabler to provide social security and long term medical, and retirement benefit to temp / flexi-staff. Promoting staffing / private employment services therefore will address various issues of employment benefits being provided to employees.

• Establish lasting awareness of ISF amidst key stakeholders (Government, Employers, Staffing companies, Job seekers, Trade Unions, Industry bodies etc )

  ISF is the apex body representing the Staffing industry / Private Employment Services that is authorised to discuss with government agencies and other trade bodies on behalf of the staffing industry/ private employment services. Staffing / private employment services is an enabler to provide social security and long term medical, and retirement benefit to temp / flexi-staff. Promoting staffing / private employment services therefore will address various issues of employment benefits being provided to employees. Several corporates today, are still not aware of Staffing / private employment services as a mechanism to staff their requirements. The ISF will work towards making the public/ government and the market at large aware of Staffing / private employment services as a means to effectively achieve their objectives. This will help easier inputs and suggestions in law making and related legislations. A temp /flexi job is still sometimes considered as a taboo or not looked up favourably by our society in India. The type of the job and the temporary nature is considered equivalent to a transitive state as compared to western societies where private employment services are a way of life. Changing this orientation and promoting staffing / private employment services as a choice of employment will be an additional objective of the ISF.

• Build a representative association

  The ISF will have several members and it is important that the member companies follow a code of conduct so that both the customer and the workforce is provided with quality services, and is adequately informed.
