Professional Scientific Staffing^SM

Professional Scientific Staffing (PSS) is a staffing solutions program specifically designed to give you the "non-permanent" workforce you need for anywhere from one year to 10 years or more.

We hire, train and manage our employees to perform analytical programs at your site, using your quality systems. This innovative staffing model provides a non-permanent, long-term and cost-effective way to meet your staffing needs that is fully compliant with co-employment law.

Our PSS program is offered globally and provides the same scope of services, expertise and cGMP compliance available at the Lancaster facilities.

Lancaster Laboratories has offered PSS services for more than seven years. All of our current PSS projects are successful and growing with approximately 170 employees serving customers at 13 different global sites.

Why Lancaster Laboratories?

Our PSS program:

• Solves potential co-employment issues associated with hiring traditional temporary staff since our program consists of employees who are hired, trained and managed solely by Lancaster Laboratories.
• Costs you less than your own full-time employees.
• Avoids the turnover rate that traditional temporary staffing programs face by offering employees benefits and a more long-term employment opportunity.
• Provides you with the security of keeping your projects in your facility.
• Gives you a detailed scope of the effectiveness of the staffing program through performance management metrics.
• Offers you a contingency plan for emergency situations: If facility issues prevent on-site testing, work can be transferred to our laboratory facilities and Lancaster personnel can be trained to provide emergency manpower.
• Provides a resource for technical expertise and support through laboratory staff at our facilities.

What our customers are saying

“We needed a very fast, cost-effective, non-temp staffing solution to address our critical business needs and expand our drug development capabilities. Lancaster Labs' Professional Scientific Staffing allowed us to have all the benefits of fulltime, highly-qualified scientists from an experienced contract lab in our lab, using our methods and SOPs, without co-employment issues more quickly and cost effectively than we could have ever accomplished. We had not anticipated all the benefits,” says a leading biotech firm executive & Professional Scientific Staffing customer.* This PSS site grew up to 69 people.

“In our case, we had several issues to solve. We had a lot of projects that had to be done very quickly and didn't have the people to do them. And with the extremely tight turnarounds required, outsourcing may have taken too long. Finally, to be perfectly honest, we had some proprietary methods and analytical techniques that we really preferred to keep in-house. Addressing every problem we had, Professional Scientific Staffing gave us the means of getting our work done by high-level scientists with our methods in our house faster than outsourcing,” says an executive with a global pharmaceutical company & Professional Scientific Staffing customer.* This PSS site has grown to 10 people.

“I was so impressed with the quality and professionalism of Lancaster Laboratories' Professional Scientific Staffing team, I would request PSS services for future growth vs. hiring my own staff,” says a senior executive with one of the world's largest R&D firms & Professional Scientific Staffing customer. This PSS site has grown to 76 people.
