Making sure your business blooms with a contingent workforce

There are many documented benefits to engaging a contingent workforce in your roster of staff. But looking a step further, just how well are you keeping your contingent workforce accountable for value? With a healthy mix of permanent employees and contractor staff, it’s so easy to lose track of the data indicating your return of investment, let alone keep on top of efficiently managing your workers’ projects and value.

Do you have access to the right tools?

Do you have an efficient system in place that allows you to easily see how many of your workers are contractors? Or what projects they’ve been hired for? What about where they’re located? Or whether your business is sticking to the employment budget?

It doesn’t need to be difficult to answer these questions, nor should they put you off hiring contractors. But without having the right contractor management system in place, you could be missing out on key insights on the costs and benefits to your business.

Do you have the expertise required?

Whether or not you have the right reporting tools, the requirements of hiring contractors is a different kettle of fish than your usual permanent employees. While having contingent staff can be very rewarding for your business and workflow, one of the most important things to keep on top of is ensuring compliance. This will help protect your business and avoid it being open to risk.

However, this also requires adequate knowledge on not just contractor outsourcing payroll services and back office functions, but also insurance required any onsite OH&S training that needs completing and the necessary legal certifications that might come as part of your contractor’s role.
