Human Capital Institute Contract Talent Webcast
Contract Talent is a Business Imperative
Any organization seeking to balance the challenges of ambiguity and execution in a slow-growth world with the chance for renewal and opportunity is wise to strategically leverage Contract Talent. While Contract Talent already played a critical role in many adaptive organizations’ workforce plans before the Great Recession hit, it likely will play an even more important role going forward, as leaders struggle not only with the uncertainty of the recovery, but with questions surrounding regulatory reform in key areas such as health care, the environment, and finance.
Properly executed, a Contract Talent strategy offers organizations greater agility and flexibility to execute and should be a key component of a holistic Workforce Plan for the foreseeable future. Co-sponsored by TAPFIN, this webcast will share the results of a new ground-breaking study, Contract Talent and the Adaptability Imperative, which focused on the needs, challenges, and attitudes of organizations at this important economic inflexion point.

Recovery Workforce Trends and Talent Fulfillment for Integrated Talent Management
In 2010 and beyond, having the right talent in the right place is an incredibly complex composition. Most global employers' needs will be met by a wide assortment of permanent employees, contractors and outsourced teams. Many factors contribute to this need; the changing nature of retirement, product development cycles and business performance expectations all take their toll. How a given organization gets the necessary knowledge and skills is not simple or conventional anymore. This process, when factored by globalization, becomes increasingly intricate. This webcast, co-sponsored by TAPFIN and the Human Capital Institute, will highlight the trends impacting enterprise talent acquisition and management and share new approaches to solving these issues.

Recovery 2010: The Rise of Contract Talent Webcast
As the recovery rebounds, so too, does hiring; more specifically, contract talent hiring. The Bureau of Labor Statistics found temporary hiring in November to be up to its highest levels since 2004. In an article from USAToday, Gary Mathiason, vice chairman of Littler, the No. 1 employment law firm, said "half the jobs created in the recovery will be filled by contractors, consultants and other temps." The benefits of using contract talent are staggering; imagine a just-in-time, experienced, less expensive workforce ready to launch a new product or close out an older one. Yet most Human Resource functions do not have the processes, controls and programs to support this level of contingent hiring. What does your organization need to transform into an agile one? What can a flexible workforce contribute to both your company's bottom line and service innovation? Bertrand Dussert, Vice President, Global Recruitment Operations American Express, presents on these very current issues during this TAPFIN-sponsored webcast.
