HR, We Have a Problem - How to Build an Adaptive Workforce
Nov 09, 2023 Season 2 Episode 50
Sapient Insights Group

In this special episode* of HR, We Have a Problem, Sapient Insights Group CEO and Managing Partner Teri Zipper, along with Sapient Insights Group Director of Research Cliff Stevenson, welcome guest Kerry Kiley, Head of Extended Workforce Program Management at Workday, to discuss the significance of adapting to the modern global workforce and the rising number of contingent workers in today's competitive and complex talent landscape.


Their conversation touches on the significant headwinds managers continue to face due to pressures like remote work, the great resignation, and the impact of AI while providing unique perspectives on how organizations are expanding their use of extended workforce programs to leverage this growing segment of the workforce strategically. 


Key points they talk about:


↪️ How companies are expanding their use of contingent labor to address shrinking talent pools, skill gaps, support innovation, and enhance workforce flexibility as a short and long-term talent management strategy.


↪️ The cross-functional collaboration to effectively manage contingent labor should include HR, procurement, finance, and IT as a holistic talent strategy.


↪️ Acknowledging and supporting HR’s central role in overseeing, supporting, and engaging contingent workers is crucial.


↪️ Tapping into technology, such as contingent workforce and vendor management systems, can be pivotal to an organization’s visibility, compliance, and data analysis capabilities when making informed decisions about extended workforce programs.
