Can your business benefit?

Here are some questions to consider to help determine whether a Managed Service Program is right for you.

  1. Does your organization have a policy for the use of a contingent workforce? An overriding policy for procuring temporary workers helps drive standard rates and service levels for all suppliers in all locations.
  2. How is your company organized? If decentralized, how much do labor strategies vary across your locations? Decentralized processes can create wide ranges in rates for the same skill sets. Managed Service Programs can bring those rates in line across all your locations.
  3. What other major initiatives are your company currently undertaking? Will those initiatives compete for the time and talent of those involved with a contingent workforce decision? Implementing a Managed Service Program can require a significant time investment for your IT staff and business line leaders.
  4. How will end users respond to the solution? How alike is the solution to the current method of ordering temporary labor? A new process requires some change management, to allow hiring managers to adjust to a new way of requesting a temporary resource.
  5. Will I get the necessary tools and support to increase likelihood of success? A project that has sponsorship at the executive levels of the company has a greater likelihood of success.
