Fieldglass to Present Findings From Aberdeen Group Contract Labor Report During March 4th Webinar

CTO Sean Chou Will Serve as Panelist and Focus on Technology Usage to Manage Contract Labor

CHICAGO, Feb. 18 /PRNewswire/ – Fieldglass, Inc., provider of the leading unified platform for acquiring contingent workers, services and direct hires, today announced it will co-host a panel discussion with Allegis Group Services centered on this year’s Aberdeen Group contract labor report. Co-sponsored by Fieldglass, the report, “Contract Labor Management: Superior Workforce Strategies for a Demanding Environment”, features data gathered from HR and procurement professionals from more than 330 companies.

The hour-long webinar, titled “The State and Future of Contract Labor Management: A Review of the 2009 Aberdeen Group Contract Labor Report”, will take place Wednesday, March 4, at noon EST. Those interested can register to attend at www.fieldglass.com/aberdeen_webinar_2009.

Moderator Chris Dwyer, researcher, Aberdeen Group, will reveal key findings from this year’s edition of the annual report. For example, Aberdeen found that more than 60 percent of enterprises surveyed utilize a Managed Services Provider (MSP) and/or Vendor Management System (VMS) technology. As a result, that same group reported:

• 25 percent higher year-over-year cost savings contract labor spend
• 27 percent higher rate of compliance to internal and regulatory policies concerning contingent labor
• 23 percent shorter time to fill an open requisition

In addition to Fieldglass CTO Sean Chou, panelists including Lexmark’s Alicia Quenemoen, SAIC’s Natalie Curtis and AGS’ Jay Lash will share their experiences and offer insight on the research findings. The group will explore topics such as staffing supplier performance and communication, on-boarding processes and length of time to onboard and cost savings achieved through automation and program management.

As a co-sponsor of the 2009 Aberdeen Contract Labor research study, Fieldglass is offering a complimentary copy of the report to those interested at www.fieldglass.com/aberdeen_report.
