Companies are utilizing contingent workers more than ever, with nearly 50% or more at many organizations and there are more than 16 million people in the contingent workforce today in the United States alone. They support nearly every business, from healthcare to transportation to gaming.
Still, most companies don’t have a strong grasp on how best to manage this group of workers or to ensure that they provide the best value to their company every day.
If you’re struggling with developing or managing a contingent workforce program in your company, you’re not alone.
Some of the most common problems we see include:
INCOMPLETE PLANNING
Strategic workforce planning involves many stages of detailed analysis, typically from multiple sources, to be effective. Having the right strategic workforce planning model in place will help you build solid talent acquisition initiatives that arm you with the data you need to hire effectively.
ASSUMING ANY HR PROFESSIONAL IS SKILLED IN CONTINGENT MANAGEMENT
Contingent Workforce program teams have a unique set of needs, and managing them requires a unique perspective—one that will allow your company to be agile, effective, and efficient.
FOCUSING ON TECHNOLOGY, RATHER THAN STRATEGY
Many companies make the mistake of deciding on a technology first rather than defining their service solution or strategy overall. This leads to improper design, frustration, and a lack of cohesion (not to mention lost time and money).
Some companies find the right technology but forget the planning. Others find the right person to manage their contingent workforce program, but don’t give them the tools they need to be successful.
THE TRUTH IS that all of these issues need to be addressed collectively for your program to be a success.
