As the utilization of contingent workers continues to grow, organizations need to improve their business models and readjust their business processes as they relate to contingent workers. The speed of the shift from hiring permanent staff to leveraging contract staff has caught many organizations unprepared. Human capital comes at a cost. The key question for any enterprise focused on human capital is, “How do we maximize the human capital return on our investment?”. Westport Intl and PinPoint Solutions have the answer. Human capital costs can be both fixed and variable. HR professionals know only too well the inputs into the fixed cost of employees, namely hiring costs and training costs. Many of these costs can be minimized if not avoided by using a contingent workforce.
