Navigating the Global War on Contingent Workers

SHRM 2016 Annual Conference & Exposition
Learn about the expanding landscape of regulations regarding the use of contract and contingent workers and the strategies to employ to optimize your staff and to avoid unintended liability in the U.S. and beyond.

Staffing flexibility, cost and temporary skill shortages have driven organizations to increasingly adopt contract and contingent workers as part of their staffing strategy. At the same time, maximizing the advantages while minimizing the risks–operational, cost and reputation–requires careful planning, creative thinking and often preemptive action. In this session you will learn how to:

  • Systemically, identify and assess the risks associated with contract and contingent workers.
  • Stay ahead of the changing landscape of the global workforce.
  • Mitigate adverse consequences of changes in contract and contingent workers’ regulations.
