Did you know a million more independent workers have joined the workforce just in 2012 – with many of these experts serving companies like yours?
Every sourcing professional knows there’s a few specialists their clients can call on for unique projects that require hard-to-source skills; the IT Guru, the Graphic Artist or the Marketing Consultant. They get in, do the job and get out.
While they may cost more than a new employee for the short term, their long-term ROI is far greater.
Today, 17 million Americans consider themselves independent workers. Companies large and small depend on many of these talent resources to get work done in the project economy.
With this engagement come all-too-familiar risks: misclassification, co-employment, intellectual property and liability. But given the right engagement program design and education, companies can get the best of consulting talent without the risk.
MBO Partners’ CEO Gene Zaino and the company’s Enterprise Market Strategist Jay Lash will share some new and cutting-edge research on the movement toward Independence and the Project Economy. Drawing on insights from working with leading clients – including 30 percent of the Fortune 100 – they will show how an organization that understands the talent trends can capitalize on them.
Gene has been the industry expert in this field for over 25 years and has been quoted in the New York Times, Forbes, Money Magazine and other publications. He was the architect of the State of Independence Study, which has just been updated for its second year.
Jay has more than twenty-five years of experience in Talent Management and Staffing Solutions.
Together, they will make a compelling case for embracing Independent Consultants in a compliant program and create a virtual bench of experts ready to go when you need them. You will learn why and how to elevate this priority within your company.
