DETAILS:   
Historically, when the economy declines, the use of contingent labor increases. However, even as we move toward economic recovery, contingent workers are now consistently fulfilling an important role in the workforce mix. By hiring contract or contingent workers, companies gain access to a wide array of talent for a particular project or to bring additional skills and knowledge to the organization. Yet, for a company’s contingent labor strategies to be most successful, HR needs to step up and assume responsibility for managing their companies’ contingent workers.

During “Contingent Workforce Management – An HR Prospective,” Elaine Orler, president and founder of Talent Function Group, discuss the increased role that HR should play in managing their company’s contingent labor. She will discuss the fact that many HR professionals view contingent labor as outside their responsibility and explain why managing these workers should be part of their duties. Additionally, Orler will share tips and strategies for how organizations can overcome the challenges of contingent workforce management and create a cohesive synergy for workforce planning, talent acquisition, performance management and succession planning.

HR, procurement and talent management professionals seeking to better understand their role in managing contingent workers in the blended workforce are encouraged to attend this informative session.
