Interim Management

Interim Management can be a useful method of importing expertise into a company for a defined period of time, perhaps associated with staff absences or recruitment intervals. There are cost, insurance, and safety protocol benefits in temporarily appointing a professional to occupy an existing job role.

Usually less costly than a 'consultant' on a simple day rate an Interim Manager will occupy an existing position in a company and actually do the job - or part of it - rather than just advise. For insurance and safety process the person can be treated as a member of staff and can be used on a full time or a part time basis.

The WMML Principal has in previous employment appointed Interim Managers to great effect in part time deployments of up to a year.
