Program Choice
Choice and Flexibility for your Contingent Workforce Management or Services Procurement Program
4 out of 5 companies use some form of non-traditional staffing, optimizing their mix of workers to achieve greater savings, efficiency and compliance. With the increased usage in flexible staff, successful organizations implement contingent workforce management programs to standardize processes and controls. Fieldglass supports the three primary program types, including Managed Service Provider (MSP), Vendor on Premise (VOP) and in-house managed, and any combination therein.
As a best-in-class Vendor Management System (VMS), we provide the technology and proactive guidance to help organizations:
- choose the right program model for the specified business goals; this could mean multiple types of programs operating concurrently on the same technology platform
- adjust the program model at a later date
- access consolidated reporting across different corporate programs
An Example of Fieldglass' Flexibility
A multi-national corporation leverages multiple MSPs for expertise in specific geographies and spend categories
- Company: large, complex multi-national manufacturing business
- Workers:contingent workers and statement of work (SOW)-based projects across 100+ sites (locations) in more than six countries
- Market Trends:workforce globalization, workforce variability, mergers and acquisitions and diverse regulations and policies
- Labor categories: IT, clinical, scientific, legal, admin/clerical and accounting/business
- some of its sites face workforce issues that require a VOP, others place some IT staff with a fragmented supplier base, and even still, others decided to manage many suppliers with MSPs. In North America, one of its MSP programs has operated more or less as a VOP/Master Supplier for more than ten years. In its EMEA operation, however, the MSP does not operate as a Master Supplier and staffs less than 1% of its workforce for all of its locations. In each instance, Fieldglass delivers the VMS technology that enables the programs to operate independently, yet systematically with corporate oversight.
