Offers proactive advice on how to develop and manage a contingency workforce

Whatever you call them-leased, outsourced, contractors, or vendors on premises-the fiercely competitive global economy has created a tremendous need for skilled and flexible contingency workers. Since traditional human resource systems were never designed for this type of worker, there is a corresponding need for businesses to learn how to better manage and develop them.
This practical, hands-on guide addresses the revolution in staffing and explains how to develop and implement strategies for successfully managing a flexible workforce. Additionally, the author explains in detail the new paradigm needed for managing a contingency workforce, integrating that workforce into operations, and creating high performance work systems. Equally as important, he covers the critical issues involved in managing a contingency workforce and even more challenging, managing a virtual contingency workforce.
After a thorough overview of the needs of the contingency workforce, the author defines the challenges of developing one and clarifies the building blocks to creating a contingency workforce that will succeed in today's global workplace. Management of the Contingency Workforce gives you the tools necessary to create and manage a world class contingency workforce.
