S2 Ep 7 - Sue Howse is in the house giving us the A-Z on 'contingent workforce management'

In this episode of Flexing Up, Craig Watson speaks with Sue Howse, CEO of Human Collaborative, diving deep into the evolving landscape of the contingent workforce. 

Here are some key highlights:

1. 90% of organisations have a contingent workforce - By Sue's own estimation most companies in Australia engage non-payroll work, they just don't know it.
2. Understanding the Contingent Workforce: Organizations often struggle to define their "invisible workforce" – contractors, service providers, and independent consultants. Visibility is crucial to managing this dynamic group.
3. Tailored Solutions: Every company's contingent workforce strategy is unique, dependent on size, industry, and needs. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work!
4. Technology in Workforce Management: Traditional vendor management systems are being complemented by new, adaptable tools enabling better workflow management for small to medium enterprises.
5. Key Trends:
   • A growing emphasis on knowing and managing non-employee workers.
   • Increasing demand for flexible work arrangements, driven by multi-generational workforces.
   • Rising importance of data, risk management, and cost transparency in contingent workforce strategies.
6. Role of AI and Tech: Emerging tech and AI are making a significant impact, especially in managing workflows and improving visibility for non-employees across departments.

As businesses adapt to the growing contingent workforce, leaders must prioritize visibility, technology, and tailored solutions to stay competitive. 🌍💼
