SESSION DESCRIPTION Blazing a trail in the workforce jungle, Acxiom has discovered a strategy to manage its contingent workforce with ease and efficiency. By presenting Acxiom’s struggles and successes, professionals will take away a blueprint of how to effectively oversee their contingent workforce by creating a strategy versus a procedure.
“We need a contractor to start tomorrow. What do we need to do?” Managing your company’s contingent workforce takes more than an outlined procedure. It takes a strategy. If the need for the contractor is immediate, most hiring leaders are not concerned about the cost associated with bringing someone on through an agency. However, if you have a large company with many leaders of the same mindset, it can turn into a very large expense enterprise-wide. Acxiom used a vendor management module to organize its contingent workforce and they used it as an opportunity to evaluate its contingent workforce procedures and policies.
Key Takeaways:
Learn how Acxiom’s “blueprint” for creating a strategy can be used as guidance and direction at any organization with a contingent workforce.
Gain an understanding of how having a strategy will help reduce overall contractor cost, avoid legal catastrophes with common law employees, and report on a complete view of the contingent workforce.
Learn how to engage third-party modules (applicant tracking systems, vendor management applications, and reporting tools) to assist with the organization and compilation of data.
