Many organizations use these workers to scale quickly, adapt to market shifts, or fill specific skill gaps without committing to full-time hires. It\u2019s a practical approach, but it also prompts a pressing question: Are you managing this part of your contingent workforce strategy carefully enough to avoid serious risks?<\/p>\n<p>Some companies have strong plans in place. Others assume that bringing in contingent talent is all it takes. In reality, problems like compliance lapses, weak supplier relationships, and poor data visibility can leave even a mature program exposed. In this article, we\u2019ll look at where these issues often show up and suggest ways to fix them. From improving contingent workforce management to leveraging better technology, these steps will help you build a more secure, reliable contingent workforce strategy.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;75%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;90%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;15px||15px||true|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;dt-first-paragraph&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Outfit|300|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;1.2rem&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;27px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; header_4_font_size=&#8221;21px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;6px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;6px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;1em&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;27px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"none\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" lang=\"EN-GB\" class=\"TextRun SCXW98238669 BCX0\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW98238669 BCX0\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"heading 1\">Where Vulnerabilities Come From<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;dt-first-paragraph&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Outfit|300|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;1.2rem&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;27px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; header_4_font_size=&#8221;21px&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;1em&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;27px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Deloitte\u2019s 2023<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/us\/en\/insights\/focus\/human-capital-trends\/2023\/future-of-workforce-management.html\"> Global Human Capital Trends report<\/a>,<\/span> 41% of executives reported relying more on contractors, freelancers, and gig workers as part of their workforce strategy.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;dt-first-paragraph&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Outfit|300|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;1.2rem&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;27px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; header_4_font_size=&#8221;21px&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;1em&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;27px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Before you fix anything, you need to spot the cracks.
