| This track looks at best practices in Contract Talent Management: enterprise-wide contingent workforce management for knowledge workers. As the workforce landscape continues to reflect the powerful influence of a knowledge-driven economy, organizations are relying increasingly on contingent knowledge workers - contractors, consultants, short-term professional engagements, and project-based workers - to augment or even replace their full-time salaried workforce. Too often, however, Human Resources departments are not fully engaged in recognizing and accommodating the subtle challenges associated with managing this critical component of the workforce. Their companies therefore frequently incur unnecessary costs and risks, placing them at a competitive disadvantage. But who should take responsibility for this component of talent management: Procurement, HR, or something else? While most organizations agree that contingent knowledge workers should not be processed in the same fashion as "temporary clerical workers," there is debate and confusion as to where they are best managed. In many organizations, individual hiring managers improvise inefficient processes to manage their contract talent needs, resulting in multiple vendor relationships (often redundant), inappropriate hiring, non-uniform pricing, uncertain compliance status, and tremendous overall losses in time and money. |
