transform contingent workforce management to realize savings this year.
how a managed services program can help you achieve both near- and long-term talent goals
The past few years will be remembered for the uncertainty we face daily, both professionally and personally. As we look ahead, one thing is clear: agility and cost savings will be increasingly important to business success as we continue to recover from the global coronavirus pandemic.
How can your business get the skills it needs now to keep moving ahead, while building a pipeline of talent who will be ready to support your business when demand picks up again? Flexible talent.
And how will you achieve critical cost savings now while building the talent infrastructure that your business will need to scale up as you recover? A managed services program.
how an MSP works
A managed services program (MSP) is a highly effective and cost-effective way for businesses to manage their contingent workforces. With no upfront program costs, an MSP provider can deliver cost savings in the first year, along with additional benefits, including:
- cost savings roadmap capable of driving costs down in Year 1
- market expertise
- process efficiencies
- program scalability
- compliant practices
- technology expertise
The MSP acts as an integral part of your company’s procurement, HR or other human capital function. We drive the implementation with change management best practices, and manage the entire contingent talent life cycle from requisition through invoicing and payment. Using a vendor management system (VMS), the MSP gives you complete visibility into the status of each contingent worker at your organization.
MSP in action: realize Year 1 savings while gaining digital skills
Facing high demand for digital and analytical skills, and a tight talent market, a banking and financial services leader sought to supplement full time employees with highly qualified contingent talent.
After implementing the Fieldglass VMS to integrate with its existing payment system, along with the Ariba procure-to-pay system, the commercial bank partnered with Randstad Sourceright on an MSP for a complete end-to-end approach to contingent talent management. Now, the bank more effectively manages sourcing for staff augmentation, statement of work (SOW) and some permanent roles for its hard-to-fill technical and administrative positions.
With the MSP in place, the bank is supporting the evolution of its business through effective management and greater access to the skills it needs. What’s more, it has achieved more than 8% savings on addressable spend — accounting for multiple millions of dollars in benefits — in the first year of the program.
