The world of non-employee talent is rapidly-evolving…and growing at a considerable clip. Due to the overwhelming need for talent and specified skill sets, today’s organizations are finding that nearly a third of their overall workforce is comprised of talent engaged from outside of the company. And, in less than three years, nearly 45%-to-50% of the world’s total workforce will be considered freelance, independent, or contingent talent.
With that in mind, it is critical for the contemporary business to (re)structure their contingent workforce management (CWM) programs to not only effectively manage today’s evolving workforce, but also the workforce of tomorrow. The evolution of technology (such as Vendor Management Systems), the growing need for third-party expertise and services (Managed Service Providers), and new and exciting platforms (rate benchmarking and Freelancer Management System tools) are all helping to support the “next generation” of CWM programs.
This very concept of building a next-generation CWM program will be the featured topic of a webinar hosted and sponsored by ZeroChaos on Tuesday, June 2 (at 1:00pm Eastern). Attendees of this event will:
- Learn how current market trends are shaping how non-employee talent is engaged, sourced, and managed.
- Understand how Ardent’s groundbreaking Contingent Workforce Management Framework can help them develop a CWM program.
- Develop forward-thinking concepts about to integrate non-employee talent into their workforce.
- Realize the hidden benefits of collaborative management of contingent workers, services, and SOW-based projects.
- Build the CWM program that will drive down costs, improve visibility and CWM intelligence, and effectively manage the long-term evolution of non-employee talent.
