Ardent Partners defines the Future of Work as the optimization of work, accomplished via the transformation of business operations, talent, and seamless and holistic solutions, as well as flexible enterprise thinking. At its core, the foundational elements of the Future of Work are all focused on the optimization of how work is done. And, this reflects the core of why the Future of Work has become such an important business consideration.
The Future of Work movement is founded on three core principles:
- The evolution of talent acquisition.
- Reliance on new and innovative technology platforms, and;
- The transformation of business strategy.
In a vacuum, all three of the above elements are critical in achieving the greater organization’s modern goal of becoming truly agile. If businesses aspire to be dynamic, flexible enterprises that can inherently optimize “how work is done” across its internal functions, these three foundational pieces of the Future of Work movement are all essential to the cause.
However, in today’s Gig Economy-led world, in which the vast majority (nearly 75%) of businesses lead with a “talent-first” approach in ultimately addressing how work is done, it becomes clear that #1 above stands out in how businesses are looking at the impending arrival of another new decade. Simply put: if a company wants to grow, thrive, and succeed in increasingly competitive times, they require the top-tier talent to do so.
Direct sourcing has become one of the hottest discussions in the worlds of work and talent, and rightfully so: the ability to directly-engage and source highly-skilled talent is quite the alluring strategy for businesses looking to not only leverage top-quality talent, but do so in a more efficient manner. As the conversations around how businesses find and acquire the talent they need continue to gravitate towards direct engagement models, there will be a profound impact of digital and on-demand staffing solutions.
With this in mind, Ardent Partners developed a first-of-its-kind technology evaluation and assessment research study, the Digital Staffing Technology Advisor, to help procurement, HR, and talent acquisition executives understand the crowded and intricate landscape of these solutions and make the best-fit, best-aligned choice for their direct sourcing requirements.
