Contingent Workforce Solutions for the Communications Industry
For most communications and media companies, human capital expenses represent the largest cost of doing business. To reduce fixed costs and increase agility, industry leaders increasingly supplement their permanent employees with a flexible workforce of contingent staff, consultants, and business service contractors.
Managing this agile contingent workforce presents a range of challenges. This is why so many organizations turn to vendor management systems (VMS) from Beeline to source and manage their non-employee resources.Too often, in their urgency to engage contingent talent, managers sidestep company policy to hire freelancers or consultants, and these resources are not accounted for in corporate planning, budgeting, or forecasting. Worse yet, their access to facilities, networks, or data may not be adequately monitored, creating serious risks.
To take advantage of the very real opportunities this agile workforce represents while mitigating risk, companies must institute consistent governance, policies, and procedures for managing contingent workers. And all managers of non-employee talent within the organization must follow them.
Many communications organizations depend on Beeline to facilitate the management of their contingent workforce programs. From job requisition to job completion, from temporary staffing to complex, statement of work-based services, Beeline streamlines the entire process, allowing our customers to:
