It’s increasingly clear that the future of work will rely heavily on the extended workforce. As companies adopt contingent labor as a major part of their total workforce strategy, technology that provides essential visibility across all workers has never been more crucial. A fully integrated human capital management (HCM) solution and vendor management system (VMS) can provide your company with everything it needs to keep pace in this shifting landscape.
Our solutions operate seamlessly together to provide the technology you need to support the workforce of today and tomorrow. The native connection between our HCM and VMS is the first step toward a total workforce strategy, and as we learn more about the future of work, we will continue to plan our product roadmap to meet these needs.
Effectively utilizing contingent labor has huge business benefits. Extended workers offer flexibility to easily scale the workforce up and down depending on market conditions, which reduces costs and increases agility. Contingent workers also play an important role by giving leaders access to specialized skills that may not exist in their full-time workforce. With the increased value of combining in-house talent with external skill sets, companies need tools in place to effectively manage the workforce in its entirety.
As we look to the future of work, organizational agility is expected to be increasingly critical for success. But to achieve this goal, you have to be able to build and serve your total global workforce, both employees and contingent labor. The tools used to manage this changing workforce are pivotal in achieving real results. We want to empower you to create organizational agility that will equate to organizational success.
We have long recognized this need for flexible technology to support the management of the contingent workforce—from onboarding to offboarding. To help you remain competitive, increase organizational agility, and optimize your total workforce, we are committed to providing practical, customizable workforce technology.
By leveraging the combined capabilities of our HCM and VMS solutions, your company will benefit from automated and streamlined processes to manage all worker types. Operating in a “hub” model, in which Workday serves as a central location for all data relating to your workforce, our HCM and VMS solutions provide a seamless user experience, increasing user adoption and supporting organizations across key areas such as:
