I think ChatGBT gave us a pretty wide range of good suggestions. Some people may find it not specific and difficult to understand. For such people, it may be a good idea to dig deeper and ask the AI again.
Since AI has made various proposals, let's incorporate them into management improvement. No matter how much information and know-how you gather, no matter how many proposals you make, it is meaningless unless you actually work to improve management.

2. Work to improve staff skills and service quality
3. Strive to build good communication and trusting relationships
4. Increase your expertise and gain trust as a professional
5. Proactively incorporate IT technology
6. Always work with an awareness of improvement
It can be said that these six points are important not only for temporary staffing agencies, but also for improving management in all businesses.
