U.S. Workforce Assessment │ Contingent Workforce
OVERVIEW: CONTINGENT WORKFORCE
4
A contingent or temporary worker is defined as one that holds a non-permanent job with a company or organization
The pool of contingent workers vary widely> Types of workers include traditional temporary labor placed by staffing agencies and
vendors, as well as self-employed, independent contractors, Statement-of-Work (SOW) labor, and project-based services
> The duration of a worker’s commitment is also a key factor in a contingent employer/worker relationships
Contingent workers are used more in firms that engage in a large number of projects, such as engineering firms, while industries focused on steady, repeatable tasks use them less; seasonal industries like retail use contingent work to help during peak times
55% of companies surveyed by Aberdeen viewed contingent labor as a high-value strategy and 43% said it provided moderate value
Contingent workers give companies the flexibility of quickly growing and constricting their workforce, a factor that is even more important after the recent downturn
The one major downside from a contingent worker’s perspective: no paid health insurance

Contingent Workforce │ Pros and Cons
From a company or organization’s perspective, the chart below lists various pros and cons of using contingent workers
> Specific pros and cons depend on a company’s industry, type of work required, etc.
5
Pro Con
Saves money and creates flexibility, as hiring companies do not need to provide benefits, severance, or continued compensation
Becomes expensive if there is high turnover in a role, requiring continued hiring and training costs
Aids financial performance; a 2001 study found that companies generated higher returns when they increased their contingent workforce to over 10%
Undermines motivation and dedication, as worker knows they are in a temporary position
Provides quick access to specific skill(s) Impacts company morale, if hirer uses a high number of transient workers
Allows for close worker review before making a permanent hire

Contingent workers traditionally were low-skilled individuals, but recent trends show an increase in higher-skilled levels, including executives, as companies seek short-term, specific professional skills
During the past few years, the volume of temporary help has swung widely; temporary help was the first to be cut during the recession and the first to be hired back post-recession
> Staffing Industry Analyst estimated the contingent workforce to be 13% of the U.S. workforce in 2008, up from 11% in 2007
> American Staffing Association says the number of people placed by a staffing firm fell by a third over a two year period, dropping from 3 million in 2007 to about 1.9 million in the second quarter of 2009
> A recent [June 2010] Aberdeen report claims 20% of the current workforce is temporary help and this workforce has expanded 20% over the past year
> Labor law firm Littler Midelson predicts contingent labor could rise to as much as 30-50% of the entire U.S. workforce
A growth enabler of contingent workers is social networking, which effectively links individuals with relevant projects
