In today’s fast-paced manufacturing environment, flexibility and efficiency are key. Partnering with Programmed for contingent workforce supply offers manufacturers a smart, cost effective and scalable solution to meet constantly evolving demands.
In an industry where downtime is costly, and demand is constantly shifting, a reliable labour hire partner such as Programmed can provide the agility, talent, and assurance manufacturers need to stay competitive, whilst mitigating risk and protecting operational integrity.
Our partners benefit from working with us in the following ways:
- Flexibility to Meet Demand: Programmed enables manufacturers to quickly scale their workforce up or down based on production cycles, seasonal spikes, or special projects, without long term commitment of permanent hires.

Programmed handles this process, freeing up internal resources and speeding up time-to-hire. With local Geelong experience, backed by a national footprint, we offer a multi-faceted service, covering contingent workers, traineeships, apprenticeships, skills development, onsite support and much more.
- Access to Skilled, Job-Ready Workers: We recruit and maintain a pool of pre-vetted, experienced workers who are ready to step in. This reduces onboarding time and ensures productivity from day one. Our recent investment in a skills development centre, enables us to address skills shortages through in-house or onsite training, delivered by our own RTO.
- Cost Control & Compliance: Programmed manages right to work compliance, payroll and worker entitlements, ensuring compliance with employment legislation and industry awards (or site enterprise agreements), reducing legal risk and simplifying cost forecasting.
- Risk Mitigation: Partnering with Programmed helps reduce operational and legal risks by ensuring all workers meet safety and compliance standards, are appropriately licensed/ticketed, are suitably experienced for the role and can facilitate all necessary onboarding inductions. Programmed is 100% SEDEX compliant.
- Workforce Continuity & Reliability: When absenteeism or turnover strikes, Programmed can facilitate 24/7 replacement staff, backed by an After Hours (outside of business hours) service, helping maintain output and minimising operational disruptions.

Case Study: Managing overtime through technology |

| Our client, a leading FMCG manufacturer, had challenges with managing overtime in daily operations.
The challenge One of the company’s production lines was facing challenges regarding improper management of overtime in their daily operations, resulting in escalating labour costs for the organisation. The skill Programmed conducted an analysis of trends and discrepancies in employee timesheets to develop new polices addressing issues including performance management of unapproved overtime. Liaising with the client’s team new policies regarding overtime approval processes were developed and communicated to staff. The success Leveraging our proprietary tech, the client’s management now has a real-time view of behaviours and automated alerts to warn of excessive overtime. Improved overtime scheduling and real-time tracking has substantially streamlined operational efficiencies for the client, with overall improvement of productivity in their operations. |
