Here are some key highlights:

  1. 90% of organisations have a contingent workforce - By Sue's own estimation most companies in Australia engage non-payroll work, they just don't know it.
  2. Understanding the Contingent Workforce: Organizations often struggle to define their "invisible workforce" – contractors, service providers, and independent consultants. Visibility is crucial to managing this dynamic group.
  3. Tailored Solutions: Every company's contingent workforce strategy is unique, dependent on size, industry, and needs. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work!
  4. Technology in Workforce Management: Traditional vendor management systems are being complemented by new, adaptable tools enabling better workflow management for small to medium enterprises.
  5. Key Trends:
    • A growing emphasis on knowing and managing non-employee workers.
    • Increasing demand for flexible work arrangements, driven by multi-generational workforces.
    • Rising importance of data, risk management, and cost transparency in contingent workforce strategies.
  6. Role of AI and Tech: Emerging tech and AI are making a significant impact, especially in managing workflows and improving visibility for non-employees across departments.

As businesses adapt to the growing contingent workforce, leaders must prioritize visibility, technology, and tailored solutions to stay competitive. 🌍💼
