Contingent labor is a rapidly growing segment of today’s workforce—and for good reason. It provides employers with a cost-effective, steady workforce, while offering workers flexibility and balance not found in traditional jobs.

A contingent workforce also presents its own challenges. It is often handled by multiple department managers within a company, each often using a different staffing vendor. As a result, the organization’s staffing model is riddled with inconsistencies and compliance risks. Some workers may be redundant, hired at higher rates, or not tied to the appropriate cost center.

This is why more and more businesses are turning to a Managed Service Provider (MSP).
