Are you unknowingly sitting on a multi-million dollar compliance risk?

In this episode, we dig into the hidden—but very real—compliance dangers lurking in contingent workforce programs. From misclassification and co-employment risks to GDPR fines and global tax exposure, this is the side of contingent labor most HR and Procurement leaders don’t talk about… until they’re forced to.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why contingent workforce compliance is now HR’s responsibility (whether you like it or not)
 ✅ What Nike, Meta, Google, and FedEx got wrong—and how to avoid their mistakes
 ✅ The 5 red flags that scream “compliance exposure”
 ✅ What happens if you bury your head in the sand
 ✅ A 5-point health check to assess your current risk
 ✅ Pro tips to fix it—this quarter, not next year

This episode is your no-fluff, executive-level guide to de-risking your contingent labor strategy and protecting your brand, your budget, and your boardroom credibility.

Because compliance isn’t about fear—it’s about freedom.
Freedom to scale. 🌍
Freedom to operate globally. 💼
Freedom to lead with confidence. 🚀
