The phrase ‘time is money’ is attributed to a letter written by Benjamin Franklin offering advice to a young tradesman. While this saying is still heard today, its precise intent can be somewhat open to interpretation depending on the context of its use. In any event, the most common inferences of this phrase likely include:
- Any time that is lost or wasted will result in a cost to the company
- Time gained/better used will save or earn money for the company
While these two statements will undoubtedly hold true for businesses of any size/scope, they are possibly more magnified or more acute for small to medium-sized companies. Therefore, using time more effectively, reducing downtime, and avoiding vacancies are of paramount importance for any firm – one way to address all such productivity-related issues would be to use agency staffing services offered by a temp agency in Toronto, like Winters Technical Staffing.

- Recruiting-related processes
