Can A Temporary Employee Make A Change In Office Procedures

Have you ever worked for a Temporary Employment Agency? Did you like it? Did you find it stimulating? Did you get hired as a permanent employee? If you have answered yes or no, read on.

I have always done some kind of office work. I mainly stayed in the Medical Office field the last twenty years. Medical billing is pretty much the same in any type of medical office. The only difference is the computer software and each Medical Provider does everything just a little bit different.

I have found while working for a Temporary (temp) Employment Agency I was in a position to find ways to change the work situation. Many times I would find huge mistakes. These mistakes could be going on for years. Why? Because this is the way they have always been done.

When I have found some of these blaring mistakes, which meant loss of monthly revenue to the Medical Provider on a monthly basis, I would speak out.

I was the new kid on the block. I was there usually to clean up their billing mess. Most of the time it had to do with software glitches which could be easily changed.

I was working at one temp job. I made a suggestion to a co-worker who had worked for this company for 25 years. She said, "Forget it. We have done this for as long as I have worked here. Besides the supervisors will never listen to you, they never listen to me."

While working in several different Medical Providers Offices I did not stagnate. I learned, blossomed and grew in knowledge. I was only to happy to share this knowledge with a company which did not change employees often or thoughts.
