A Contingent Workforce Program (CWP) is an organized strategy used by organizations to manage non-permanent employees, such as freelancers, temporary workers, and consultants. This program encompasses policies and processes for sourcing, engaging, managing, and optimizing this flexible workforce segment to meet varying business needs. It ensures compliance with labor regulations while aligning these engagements with organizational goals, thereby driving efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
