Contingent Workforce Conference 2015, Sydney

The Event For Organisations Managing A Contingent Workforce In Australia

The Rise of the Freelancer – Using Technology to Gain Greater Control & Demonstrate an ROI

This is our fourth Contingent Workforce Conference (CWF) and while the market has moved forward many issues remain the same but have just become more complex.

What is new is that we are seeing an increased use of Freelancers.  That is, Statement of Work Contractors who can be readily procured to substitute for expensive consulting resources.  These can be procured from a variety of sources but need to be managed just like all other Contingent Resources.

We are also seeing many organisations implementing and using Vendor Management System (VMS) technology and trying new Contingent Workforce Models.  There is an increased competition for Contingent Resources as organisations have demands for similar skills and technologies.   We are seeing an unprecedented number of large organisations implementing a consolidated contingent workforce, able to be supplied in a consistent way with agreed rates and margins, and importantly with minimised risks.

Yes, the market is commencing to mature but still has a very long way to go.  That elusive On-Demand Workforce where you have access to skills when required rather than paying for them all the time is closer, but still not here.

This year’s event has been designed for both organisations starting out and those who are on the way to getting the basics right.  Both have in common wanting to improve the supply chain and management of the contingent labour for the least cost and risk.

In terms of people, this event is targeted at Recruitment and Procurement Professionals.  So, what’s in store for 2015? This year’s topics have been guided by attendee feedback and include:

• Streamlining and Automating the Supply and Management of the Contingent Workforce
• The Future Workforce & How We Get There
• Understanding Your Workforce. What’s Best to Insource? What’s Best to Outsource?
• Looking Back On The Workforce of 2012, Looking Forward to The Workforce of 2022
• Lessons And Insights From Leading Organisations including:
  • Creating Compelling Business Cases that Work First Time
  • The Key Steps to Undertaking a Contingent Workforce Audit
  • Steps you MUST in the first 6 months to get the best ROI from your VMS
  • KPIs your Contingent Workforce Model must hit in Year 1 & 2

We guarantee a conference format that is participative and practical with plenty of opportunity to share ideas. Plus you’ll gain valuable insights from the impressive line-up of subject matter experts set to speak this year.

We also guarantee to provide in one place, technology that you can see and touch, experienced consultants and practitioners who have implemented contingent workforce models, and importantly networking to exchange ideas to solve business problems.
