Christmas at Coople was a celebration to remember! 🌟 We kicked off the festivities with a delicious Christmas lunch and a Secret Santa gift exchange, followed by a heartfelt wrap-up of the year. The evening sparkled with our Christmas party and fun team activities that brought everyone closer together. 🎁🎅 Our theme for the day? Dress for Christmas during the day and dress to impress at night - and our team did not disappoint! From festive sweaters to glamorous evening wear, everyone brought their A-game. 🕺🏻✨ Here's to ending the year in style and embracing the holiday spirit together. Cheers to a wonderful festive season and an amazing start to 2025! 🥂

Coople makes history 🕰️ In the Staffing Industry Analysts latest publication, "History of the Staffing Industry", Coople is recognised as one of the "world's first temporary staffing platforms"! When we launched in Switzerland in 2009, we had a clear mission: to redefine the temporary staffing industry with an innovative, technology-driven platform. Our goal has always been to create flexibility and efficiency – for both businesses and workers. We’re delighted to be highlighted as a pioneer in the industry and honoured to know that our approach has inspired other major players. But what really drives us is the people behind the technology: our amazing team, our dedicated partners and, of course, everyone who uses Coople to make their (working) world more flexible. 💪     Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/d2WscjMa 

The value of experience: This National Older Workers Week, we’re proud to shine a spotlight on the incredible contributions older workers make to the workforce 🌟    Older workers offer a wealth of experience, valuable mentorship, and inspiration to younger colleagues. As our Country Manager, Rufus Hood, shares:    “Organisations that hire older workers benefit from their greater experience and expertise. By bringing in workers of different age groups, companies can gain different perspectives and lived experiences.” A key consideration for attracting older workers is ensuring fair access to training, development, and opportunities for all employees. Equally, older workers also appear to value flexible working hours, as it allows them to transition into semi-retirement at their own pace and gradually reduce their working hours while taking on shifts that suit their schedules. At Coople, we’re proud to support businesses and workers alike in creating more inclusive, adaptable workplaces where every generation can thrive! #NationalOlderWorkersWeek #FlexibleWork #WorkplaceEquality

#TempWorkWorks: A preferred choice for #flexibility and #balance    The Recruitment and Employment Confederation’s (REC) new campaign, ‘Temp Work Works’, has highlighted what many in the industry already know: temporary work isn’t just a stopgap – it’s a valued choice. The REC’s recent research shows that:    79% of temporary workers prioritise flexibility as a key factor when choosing temp work.  68% highlight that this flexibility directly improves their work-life balance.    These findings reveal that temp work offers more than just short-term solutions. For many, it’s the perfect way to balance career goals with lifestyle needs – whether it’s combining work with studies, managing childcare, or choosing flexible hours in semi-retirement.    We understand the importance of this flexibility. Many workers registered on our app have shared their appreciation for the freedom to choose roles that match their interests and schedules. They also benefit from gaining experience across different industries, all while maintaining control over their work-life balance.    👉 Curious about the flexibility temp work offers?

And now that Halloween is over, it's officially festive season! 🎄✨ Bring on the holiday cheer! 

Employment Rights Bill Update: What it means for UK employers and employees   The UK’s new Employment Rights Bill introduces major shifts, including reforms to zero-hour contracts, 🕒 statutory sick pay, 🤒 and the right to request flexible working 🤲.    As discussions continue, it’s clear that while some aspects of the Bill may be adjusted, the direction is toward greater security and flexibility for workers. Rufus Hood, Country Manager UK at Coople, shares our perspective: “This Employment Rights Bill will bring about considerable changes in employment practices, particularly for sectors relying on zero-hour contracts. Employers will need to keep these upcoming requirements in mind, from ensuring fair compensation for shift cancellations to reviewing policies around leave entitlements from day one. While full implementation is expected by 2026, now is the time for employers to assess their readiness for these new policies and anticipate the impact on workforce management.” As a flexible work platform, Coople is committed to support both employers and workers in navigating this new era of employment rights. We believe in fair and transparent practices that benefit everyone, and we’re here to help businesses prepare for what’s to come.
