Untangling the External Workforce
The external workforce is yours to sort out but the hard part is knowing where to begin.
Join us on Thursday 24th September for an intimate breakfast workshop for HR and Talent leaders facing exactly this. We'll break it into parts you can actually work with, show how they connect, and help you find your own starting point.
Because the reality is messy. Freelancers, contractors, agencies and suppliers get engaged across different teams, for different reasons. Every decision made sense at the time. Together they add up to something nobody quite owns, and that's before umbrella reform, client audits and AI change what you need, and how fast.
