This book focuses on the concept of temping and its growing importance and significance as the fastest-growing HR trend in India through three comprehensive sections. The first section titled "Temping: An Introduction" throws light on the significance and the role of temping in the current business scenario. The second section "Temping: Indian Experiences" provides insights into Indian experiences of temping and the status and importance of temping in Indian companies. The last section "Temping: Country Experiences" highlights the temping industry status and its recent trends in various countries.

The rapidly changing business scenario of Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization (LPG) has made the concept of temping grow faster by gaining approval as a proficient way of employing talented workforce. Temporary staff agencies proffer a surplus of explicit staffing solutions to the clients to meet their changing business demands. Temping is considered to be beneficial for the companies that hire temps as it provides a flexible staffing selection mechanism, helps the client to meet up-ticks in demand to maintain the business cycle and keeps the labor costs under control. Thus, it provides competitive advantage to the firm in the marketplace. Temping firms provide a wide array of HR services from recruitment to end-to-end activity management, which has encouraged many industries to use temps as never before, thus making temping a booming business that contributes in a big way to the global economy and employment for all. The end result is that ``there is sufficient space for everyone in the current employment market and the temporary workforce is no exception."

The employees are empowered through delegation. Empowerment implies giving authority as well as resources to the subordinates to enable them to take independent decisions without having to refer to their boss.

The term empowerment is complex and multidimensional. Although the term generally has a positive connotation one must be cautious about its negative implications also.
