Randstad Sourceright Creates New Model of Total Talent Management
December 7, 2018 – Randstad Sourceright has unveiled the latest evolution of its managed service provider (MSP) offerings aimed at helping organizations manage today’s complex contingent workforce.
The new model, called “MSP Ahead,” is based on the company’s “Step>Edge>Ahead” contingent talent consulting framework. It provides an advanced contingent workforce management solution that combines human cloud platforms, talent community technologies, supply chain management, automation and satisfaction measurement to give clients unique insight into their total talent picture and offers custom-built solutions to manage flexible talent.
With the rise of the gig economy, companies are challenged to get a complete picture of their workforce, said Randstad. Freelance and contract workers are frequently siloed within various internal departments, and global organizations often employ hundreds of workers without having a management structure in place to ensure talent is being used effectively or paid properly.
“Managed services programs have typically included only contingent labor, with a focus on compliance and cost savings, but we have evolved the offering to include all types of talent, working ‘upstream’ to identify the appropriate talent pools even before a hiring need exists,” said JoAnne Estrada, global head of Randstad Sourceright’s contingent workforce strategies.
A Paradigm Shift
How companies handle their talent management strategies in the 21st century workplace matter more than just about anything. According to Dan Davenport, president of career transition leader RiseSmart, there is “a paradigm shift in how talent is moving into, within and out of an organization.” As a result, he said, “business outcomes are increasingly dependent on a company’s ability to achieve high levels of employee engagement, loyalty and trust.” Here’s some further reading from Hunt Scanlon Media.
A Look Inside Today’s Worker-Employer Relationship
According to a newly-released report by RiseSmart, there is an ‘employee relationship economy’ on the rise being driven by technology, a changing workforce and globalization. With it, HR management will increasingly need strategies to embrace a new era of ‘boomeranging’ employees.
As an integral division its talent engine, Randstad Sourceright said that it has the “people, resources and technology to manage a company’s entire workforce. Its managed service programs enhance the efficiency and visibility of an organization’s flexible talent program, including freelance, statement of work (SOW) and independent contractor workers.”
