Contingent Employee Growth Drives Workforce Solutions

As the Independent Contractor trend continues to grow and becomes a permanent configuration of an organization’s workforce, the need to effectively manage this non-employee segment becomes increasingly important.

Based on a study by Ardent Partners less than 50% of US companies contingent workforce is accounted for, while over 60% of US organizations consider non-employee resources as a key workforce component.
