12:45 PM REIMAGINE CONTINGENT STAFFING PRACTIONER-LED ROUNDTABLES

Pull up a seat and join an in-depth conversation with your contingent workforce peers on the issues that matter most. These interactive roundtables are your chance to explore how others are tackling today’s toughest challenges—from compliance and adoption to supplier partnerships and tech enablement. Walk away with fresh ideas and real-world strategies you can apply immediately. 

 

1. The MSP Balancing Act: How Much Control Should They Have? 

  • With shifting expectations and reduced support from MSPs, how do you strike the right balance between autonomy and reliance? Discuss evolving roles, service gaps, and strategies for optimizing your MSP relationship. 

 

2. “Total Talent Management: Is It Finally Achievable?” 

  • Integrating contingent and full-time workforce strategies has been an industry goal for years, but are we any closer to making it work? Share real-world challenges, explore best practices, and discuss what’s needed to make total talent a reality. 

 

3. “Measuring Supplier Performance: Are You Looking at the Right Metrics?” 

  • Are traditional SLAs and scorecards still relevant? Discuss how to evolve supplier performance measurement beyond fill rates and cost savings to focus on quality, retention, and long-term strategic value.
