Rapid Growth of Full Time Equivalent Staffing Programs


With the global economy in a recession, a vast majority of pharmaceutical companies are being forced to cut costs and control spending. For most companies this means a reduction in workforce and tighter outsourcing budgets. Companies are left with the same amount of required laboratory testing, but with fewer employees to perform the work in-house. Clients are left searching for value-added programs that will allow them to project all of their outsourcing costs for an entire year in order to lock in on set annual costs. As a result, Lancaster Laboratories is seeing an increased interest in its Full Time Equivalent (FTE) staffing programs.
