Staff Management, the industry’s leading provider of sustainable temporary staffing and contingent workforce management solutions, is featured in the current issue of HRO Today magazine on global Managed Service Provider (MSP) program trends. The HRO Today article, titled Planning for Contingencies, features insights from the Aberdeen Group and other industry leaders including Joan Davison, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Staff Management. It also includes an excerpt from Staff Management’s recently published primer, Guide to Going Global: A Primer for Global MSP Expansion. The HRO Today article explores the continued growth of continge! nt labor and key reasons
companies are more interested in global MSP programs than ever before.
HRO Today documents the progression of contingent labor from a necessary evil to a key part of a company’s global strategic plan. “In the past, contingent labor was something that companies would deal with when necessary, but now they are being very proactive about it” says Chris Dwyer, Research Analyst in global supply management for Aberdeen Group. “It speaks to the fact that contingent workers are very much a valued part of the modern organization.” Aberdeen has found that companies with MSP’s in place have achieved 20% higher contingent worker quality rankings than companies without MSP programs. This is just one of a number of impressive performance metrics reported by Aberdeen which support the trend towards managed contingent workforce programs. Aberdeen’s latest research shows that 33% of MSP programs include multiple regions and 19% of companies plan to expand their MSP programs over the next two years.
Joan Davison, Staff Management Chief Operating Officer, provides her perspective on key drivers for global MSP expansion in the article. “Clients go global for many reasons, but traditionally we’ve seen global expansion to achieve greater understanding and to gain visibility of their contingent labor worldwide,” explains Davison. “I think global expansion is going to continue to increase as the client sees the value and benefit, and learns about the flexibility they have within their workforce. In the future, once they better understand their labor markets, I think you will see more product decisions made based on the labor market and the flexibility of contingent labor in that market.”
The HRO Today article excerpts portions of Staff Management’s recently published global MSP primer which examines the need to strike a careful balance between standardization and localization when going global and explores what a company needs to know when considering implementing a global MSP program. Best practices highlighted include: the importance of engaging key local stakeholders, the need to be informed on localization issues including employment and tax laws, and global staffing platform strategies.
