Contract Labor Management: Superior Workforce Strategies for a Demanding Market [Aberdeen Group]
With the nation facing the toughest economic times since The Great Depression, enterprises are being forced to reevaluate their current labor needs and implement alternative workforce strategies to effectively drive performance without sacrificing time, cost, or quality.
Contract labor, also known as contingent or temporary labor, is a multi-faceted category known for its complexity. Improper management of contract labor has many consequences, including inflated costs, failure to achieve desirable performance from contract-staffed projects, and non-compliance to internal and regulatory policies. In 2009, enterprises will do their best to face a demanding economic environment and succeed in their respective contingent labor programs by driving performance from outside experts (managed service providers), automation (vendor management systems), and superior management of independent contractors.
