Ardent Partners and Future of Work Exchange research point to the extended workforce (contingent workforce) as encompassing 49.5% of the average enterprise’s total talent. The rapid (and continued) growth, evolution, and impact of this much-heralded form of labor has transformed the ways businesses think about productivity, skillsets, and, ultimately, how work gets done.
Amongst the innovative age of workforce technology stands a solution that serves as the veritable “nexus” of today’s extended workforce programs:
Vendor Management Systems. While VMS has long been a powerful tool for HR, procurement, and talent acquisition executives to leverage in their pursuit of extended workforce efficiency, these platforms represent so much more than simple end-to-end automation.
