managing the flexible workforce of the future [chicago]
DESCRIPTION
As business continues to move at light speed, companies are deploying flexible workforces that can be quickly engaged and on - boarded to keep pace. Behind the scenes, they need total visibility in order to optimize all areas of services procurement including complex spend, worker quality, corporate and external compliance and contingent workforce program efficiencies. And they need a new breed of technology to achieve this. Companies today need a Vendor Management System (VMS) that can easily integrate with other internal systems to enable a holistic view of both talent and spend.

Global Firms in 2020: The next decade of
change for organisations and workers
Take on more contingent workers. The proportion
of contingent to permanent workers will shift in
favour of the former.
Dispelling a myth that all temps are in low-
paid roles
Last year saw the number of people in permanent
jobs stay roughly static and the number of people
in temporary work rise month on month.
The surge in temp hiring is not a sign of a
malfunctioning economy. It is the face of the future.
Temporary Workers and the 21st Century
Economy
Your Workforce Isn’t Who you Think
They Are
Redefine your workforce. Most companies depend on non-
employees to do many things. And more companies –
especially big ones – expect to increase their contingent
workforce during the next decade.
