Companies today are faced with the challenge to gain holistic visibility and management control over their entire workforce. We are at a turning point economically and we need to understand if our clients are feeling strength or strain. he most obvious way is measuring time-to-fill or successful placement as those metrics can show us when a pay or bill rate is too aggressive. However, when organizations focus on cutting costs by slashing their contingent rates only, this typically causes what we call, "Aversive behaviors." Workers that were hired from contingent staffing companies may now come in on a more unregulated services (SoW)contract or as an Independent Contractor. Contingent rates are just one piece of a complicated puzzle. Cutting them, without other measures in place, can cause us to lose track of people within our organizations due to the wrong avenues available for hiring talent. If you’re having difficulties in tracking the resources and have poor insight into the population of workers, this is increasing security risks and mis-classification of your workforce. By implementing customized levels of services procurement, the results will show improved SOW visibility, reduced risk and restored compliance. What avenues are open at your organization?
