Contingent Labor Management refers to the systematic approach to managing non-permanent, flexible workers such as freelancers, independent contractors, and temporary staff used by organizations to meet the fluctuating demands of the workforce. It involves strategic planning, procurement, and human resource practices aimed at optimizing the sourcing, hiring, onboarding, and administration of these workers to enhance operational efficiency, compliance, and cost-effectiveness.
Key Benefits

-Improved Compliance and Risk Management: Effective management ensures adherence to regulatory standards and reduces the risks associated with contingent workforce management, such as misclassification or contractual liabilities.
