From the procurement perspective, there is no more complex category of corporate spend than contingent labor. Once a simple indirect spend category that merely required some supplier optimization and eProcurement prowess has become nearly 40% of the average organization’s overall workforce and is currently part of a movement that prioritizes how work is done. The humble truth is this: today’s non-employee and contingent workforce is the biggest strategic category under the procurement banner and has a major impact on global enterprise operations.
Ardent Partners is excited to announce its sixth annual State of Contingent Workforce Management research study, which is set for publication in October. This critical new research study will not only uncover the market trends and business drivers that are actively forcing businesses across the globe to reevaluate their evolving non-employee workforce, but will also highlight the growing impact of innovation, new solutions and platforms, and other facets of the “new world of work.”
Lend your voice to this new research study (click here to participate in the survey) and receive a complimentary edition of the State of Contingent Workforce Management 2018-2019 upon publication in October. The upcoming research report will also discuss:
- The evolution of services procurement and its place in the contemporary CWM program.
- What the “Future of Work” means for today’s procurement professionals.
- The effects of social, political, and economic conditions on how talent is utilized.
- How new talent engagement options, from talent marketplaces to digital staffing platforms, are revolutionizing the overall global impact of the contingent workforce, and;
- Why the answer to the question, “How does work get done?”, should be on the minds of every enterprise today.
