Introduction

Implementing a contingent workforce over the past decade has become the norm, and more so today as rising labor costs and adapting to the rapidly changing structural shift that has occurred in the marketplace.

The year over year growth in the size and cost of the contingent workforce has caused a few rippling effects.  First, it’s causing a shortage of workers to fill critical skill sets.   Second, it is understanding what skills and services contingent workers need and helping managers make applicable/accurate based decisions on whether to fill a role or skill with a contingent worker or full-time employee. The third rippling effect is the complex change that is constant, and competition is coming from everywhere. The pace at which companies conduct business is speeding up and that includes technology to support those changes. Since most of the required needs are project-based, it’s costly and ineffective to retain the required skill set in-house.  Most companies are turning to the contingent workforce.

Today, one-third of the US workforce is made up of Baby Boomers, and they are starting to retire, causing a gap in critical skills. To fill this gap, companies are turning to the contingent workforce for a few reasons; Responsiveness, Flexibility, and most of all the Operational cost of the enterprise.  The estimated spend by procurement is 30 percent of contingent workers. Business leaders have had to respond to the structural shift in the marketplace. The Structural change has left business leaders responding to innovative ideas and business strategies to account for diminished margins.

The barrier most companies face is comprehending what skill sets and services contingent workers supply and providing administrators with the tools to fill a role or skill need with a contingent work or a full-time employee. Even though the contingent workforce segment is expanding insignificance and its size, many businesses may not be skilled at balancing it. Significant concerns include the lack of an integrated workforce management approach, management behavior, weak data management, and substandard technology. Such imperfections can expose companies to immense business, financial, and public relations threats. Furthermore, the lack of an integrated solution across these parts can inhibit an organization’s capability to make choices about what type of talent to deploy where.

As more organizations see the issues pertinent to contractors and administration, they can benefit from enhanced overall performance, lower labor costs, informed staffing decisions, more organizational flexibility, and stronger HR alignment with business goals and objectives. A focus in this area will provide the potential to find and acquire contingent workforce expertise that is high-quality, and aligned to the specific business needs.  Providing the organization, the capacity to source and secure contingent workforce talent that is high-quality, aligned to the specific business needs, and available “on-demand” to meet prompt talent needs. Administrators can make practical talent choices at the time of need, and the procedures and systems are in place to maintain and mitigate the risk of the contingent worker and help administration across the worker lifecycle.

Key Challenges

The crucial struggle many organizations encounter as they navigate the contingent workforce landscape is finding the ideal balance. Business Intelli has been providing guidance and contingent workforce solutions since 2006 helping the organization manage and limit the risk, by maintaining flexibility and proactively responding to your business needs.  Business Intelli has found that most organizations face demanding situations surrounding the following areas:

Contingent worker technology.

There is no shortage in the marketplace for tracking and administering contingent workers. But having the right technology is a critical foundational element.  Having a proper balance of analytics and decision support capability, tracking and administration in one integrated system is the key. Our system carefully aligns to explicitly defined talent needs through a vetted, approved, and defined accountability for supporting your organization’s risk and cost management practices.

Ownership and accountability.

Businesses are also choosing the need to assign responsibility for the contingent workforce. Formerly, control for components of the overall contingent workforce lifecycle fell under numerous hands.  The crucial choice is whether one responsibility can or should own the overall process. Realistically, it may be better for one organization to be accountable, with precisely outlined responsibilities for parts of the lifecycle. An efficient model depends heavily on HR to drive the change.  However, this requires careful integration and ownership with finance, procurement, risk, legal, and the business. Managers need to be encouraged and held accountable for the workforce decisions they make and practices they employ. Finance needs to take ownership of cost and budget controls. Procurement has o have ownership of vendor strategy, pricing, contracting, and supplier selection components. Risk and Legal should handle process and practice.  Business Intelli helps HR carefully integrate contingent worker processes, policies, and guidelines into the existing HR service delivery model and systems where appropriate.

Part of our service is to help businesses develop a holistic strategy for the contingent workforce and show you how the administration should be operationalized to deliver results to the firm. Business Intelli has been helping organizations define that strategy and integrate it into the current policies and procedures.
