Exciting Contingent Labor Trends for 2019 – nTech

Exciting Contingent Labor Trends for 2019 – nTech

With many companies having to adapt to changing business needs throughout the year, the use of blended workforces continues to grow. Along with skilled and reliable permanent staff members, contingent workers bolster your numbers when the need arises, providing you with the highest level of flexibility.

The beginning of the new year is an ideal time to review your current strategies or implement a new one. If you aren’t sure where to begin, here are some tips to get you started.

Examine the Past to Prepare for the Future

Many companies experience cyclic needs when it comes to right-sizing their workforce. During peak seasons, businesses may need more hands on deck, allowing them to meet productivity standards. When the slow season arrives, fewer employees are required to maintain normal operations.

Since many of these shifting needs are seasonal, it is possible to look to the past for clues on how to handle the future. If you traditionally experience a boost in business at about the same time every year, you can plan for that need in advance, ensuring you have the additional workers you require when the time is right. You can also review your staffing numbers during peak and off-peak seasons, using them as guides to strategize for the ideal workforce composition.

Predictive analytics can be especially beneficial when you are striving to maintain balance. You can forecast future job openings, account for talent demand, analyze your existing resources and craft a strategy for staying ahead of the competition.

Create a Friendly Culture for the Contingent Workforce

While contingent workers are becoming more common in the workforce, not every company has adapted their culture to be welcoming to these employees. When supplemental workers don’t feel like they are part of the company or properly supported, productivity will suffer, and not just among your short-term staff.

In an ideal culture, you create clear pathways for communication that work for everyone, including your contingent workforce and permanent team members. Additionally, you need to encourage everyone to blend together to make common goals achievable by showcasing how the cumulative effort of all involved ensure everyone can achieve their objectives.

Often, contingent workers need support from permanent staff and vice versa. By demonstrating how everyone is part of a larger puzzle, you can shift the company’s culture and create an environment that is conducive to success.

Find an Innovative Contingent Workforce Management Solution

When it comes to managing your contingent workforce, not all solutions are created equal. Some are tried and tested, representing the best of what a strategic partner could possibly offer, while others are less developed.

If you are looking for a proven solution to assist with the management of your contingent staff, Talent Direct from nTech is an ideal solution. Not only will you have access to leading talent curation services, but you’ll also experience significant cost-savings, improved engagement and more.
