External Workforce Management


External Workforce Management

Professional cooperation with external workforce

Nowadays, we are facing new challenges like flexibility and mobility in all areas of life – even in the employment market. The trend shows that modern employees want to work for several employers at the same time as well as to avoid permanent contracts. A few years ago, companies selected employees; now, more and more employees are choosing their employers. In addition, key terms such as “dataism”, “digitisation”, “skill shifting” and “working nomads” play an important role and reinforce the need for transparency and compliance. The balance between human and work is changing, and new ways of working are required.

The challenges in external workforce management

Globalization, demographic change and the shortage of skilled workers demand a high degree of flexibility of companies and employees. This flexibility can be achieved by a successful management of external resources. Colleagues are no longer seen merely as employees, they are strategic sucess factors who need to contribute “added value”. The modern HR department is therefore required to treat employees and external experts as clients, to support them professionally, and thus to create positive so-called “employee and user experiences”. The requirements placed on the employers are compounded by cost pressure, transparency, and compliance requirements. On the other hand, there is the entire workforce – colleagues and external experts – with their desire for flexibility, work–life balance and meaningfulness of their work.
