can best be done

THE EVOLVING CONTINGENT WORKFORCE

Ardent Partners predicts that the average contingent

workforce will rise by 30% over the next three years

92% of enterprises cite non-traditional talent as a

moderate-to-vital aspect of their overall corporate strategy

The “war for talent” now outweighs “cost savings” as

the top driver of contingent workforce management
