The contingent workforce has become central to how organizations operate. These roles provide the flexibility to scale quickly, access specialized skills on demand as well as manage costs in a volatile business environment.
Yet this growing reliance has created a challenge: competition for quality contingent talent is intensifying, and employers struggle to engage, retain and convert these workers. The best performers have options and organizations must compete harder to attract them.
There’s a critical disconnect here. Contingent workers are an engine of the modern economy, yet their experience often goes overlooked. They deliver significant value to organizations while frequently feeling undervalued and disconnected.
What this guide delivers: We explore how employers can attract, motivate and retain contingent workers in a labor market defined by flexibility, economic pressure and evolving worker expectations. By rethinking how you engage contingent talent, you can start building a more resilient and agile workforce.
