What You´ll Learn:
Across industries, project-based work has become the norm. Yet many HR and TA functions still prioritise permanent hires and leave project-based or contingent work to resourcing teams or even individual hiring managers.
Heading into 2026, that’s a strategic blind spot.
This breakfast session brings together experts and peers to discuss:
- Building total talent visibility across HR, Finance, and Procurement to support 2026 workforce planning and project-based resource allocation
- Integrating project-based sourcing strategies into broader workforce planning to balance agility, cost control, and access to specialised talent
- HMRC’s upcoming umbrella tax liability shift and what it means for your business
- How to future-proof compliance across your off-payroll and freelance workforce
“The upcoming umbrella reforms will separate the prepared from the reactive. If you’re unsure how your contractors are paid, start there.
At Worksome’s 2026 Expert Panel on Smarter Sourcing + Compliance Readiness, we’ll break down what Joint and Several Liability really means for end clients and how to stay compliant without slowing down hiring.”
