It’s no secret that today’s non-employee workforce—comprised of temporary staff, freelancers, independent talent, and professional services—is rapidly growing and evolving. As businesses continue to manage the “war for talent,” they are actively finding that flexible, contingent workers hold the necessary skillsets and expertise for critical enterprise projects and initiatives. With the non-employee workforce moving to an “on-demand” format, in which executives and professionals can engage independent talent via a variety of next-gen means (including social media, business networks, and private talent pools), many of today’s contingent workers are sourced outside of standardized contingent workforce management (CWM) programs … leaving the business at risk of a variety of compliance ramifications.

Globalization is a true force in today’s fast-paced business world, and the contingent workforce industry certainly feels the impact of expanding commerce. As CWM programs face the tall task of global expansion, businesses must realize that, in order to be effective and efficient, the realms of compliance and visibility are of the utmost importance.

Join me for a complimentary webinar on Wednesday, September 23 (2 p.m. Eastern) that will feature discussions about the expansion of today’s contingent workforce (and the consequential impact areas for those businesses that want to expand their programs into new regions) and the criticality of compliance in the modern, globalized world of talent. The event, which is sponsored and hosted by CXC Global (a global contractor management solution), will also highlight the specific action items all companies must take in order to truly be compliant with global labor standards (CXC’s Managing Director of Americas, John Smith, will join me during the webinar).

The webinar will also highlight:

• The importance of localized “experts” and services in supporting global contingent workforce programs.
• The critical compliance areas every company must track, measure, and monitor.
• Best-in-Class strategies for building an effective global compliance program, and;
• What the future holds for the “contingent” workforce industry and the various compliance implications that will shape this market in the years ahead.
