The Global Association for Strategic Talent Management
Contract Talent Is a Business Imperative
Webcast:
Any organization seeking to balance the challenges of ambiguity and execution in a slow-growth world with the chance for renewal and opportunity is wise to strategically leverage Contract Talent. While Contract Talent already played a critical role in many adaptive organizations’ workforce plans before the Great Recession hit, it likely will play an even more important role going forward, as leaders struggle not only with the uncertainty of the recovery, but with questions surrounding regulatory reform in key areas such as health care, the environment, and finance.
Properly executed, a Contract Talent strategy offers organizations greater agility and flexibility to execute and should be a key component of a holistic Workforce Plan for the foreseeable future. This webcast will share the results of a new ground-breaking study, Contract Talent: The New Normal Workforce, which focused on the needs, challenges, and attitudes of organizations at this important economic inflexion point.
All webcast attendees will receive a free copy of this new report.

I have been a grateful recipient of the willingness to use contract labor and have been independently consulting since Thanksgiving!
