“The reality is, the majority of programmes in businesses struggle on quite a granular, basic level to deliver data insights on the active, real-time contingent workforce.” How does your business build a clear picture of its contingent workforce? Many organisations find themselves unable to answer fundamental questions: How many contractors do we currently have? What specific skills are represented? Where are they located? What projects are they working on? This lack of real-time, accurate data hampers decision-making and strategic workforce planning. The inability to capture and analyse this information effectively can lead to: ⚙️ Inefficient resource allocation 📋 Compliance risks 💸 Missed opportunities for cost savings 🔍 Difficulties in skills gap analysis 📊 Challenges in performance tracking and quality control Are you grappling with these challenges in managing your contingent workforce data?

Alternatively, backfilling with temporary workers at standard rates during periods of high overtime can lead to cost savings without compromising productivity. 💷 🚀 📞 Contact our team to discover how you can leverage your data to forecast your talent requirements.

The Complexities of Worker Classification In today's dynamic labour market, understanding worker classifications is crucial for effective workforce management. In the UK, for instance, workers fall into three employment categories: 🏷️Employees (Limb A), 🏷️Workers (Limb B), and 🏷️Self-Employed. Each classification carries different rights and obligations, both for the worker and the engaging organization. The distinction isn't always clear-cut, often depending on factors such as the degree of control over work, mutuality of obligation, and the right of substitution. These classifications are currently being reviewed by the new government with a view to removing the worker category – watch this space! Misclassification can have serious consequences. In 2022, Uber faced a $100 million penalty for incorrectly classifying drivers as independent contractors. This case underscores the importance of getting classification right. So at RedWizard, we developed our Educate2Enable Learning Hub, which emphasizes that classification isn't just about ticking boxes on a form. It requires a holistic assessment of the working relationship. Workforce managers, must stay vigilant and regularly review their company’s classification practices to ensure compliance and fairness.
