“Working with TestMSP® to implement the processes for our out-of-state adjuncts has been great. We truly appreciate the time and commitment that Test and their staff have put into this new process. So, far we’ve had great results and having completed one semester we hope to continue with more improvements along the way. THANK YOU!”
--Associate Vice President & CHRO
The challenge: Independent contractors difficult to fit in program.
Initially the contingent labor program management office was self-run. After a merger, it was determined that an external MSP partner was necessary to find additional value. TestMSP® was selected based on our ability to transform the model into a world-class program, utilizing insight to formulate decision making and expand capabilities to total talent management.
Right of way suppliers had not been included in the self-managed program, given the difficulty of supplier adoption and complex engagement models. But there was a recognized need to include them in the new program to increase compliance, drive cost savings, and mitigate risk.
The solution: Research, stakeholder engagement leads to adoption.
- Conducted supplier optimization workstreams resulting in exclusive suppliers for right of way.
- Continued utilization of SAP FG Contingent Labor module for these engagements.
- Uncovered 95% of resources are pre-identified, with 5% being sourced through supplier's bench talent. Continued engagement to drive value and cost savings in a competitive marketplace.
- Executive stakeholder engagement, combined with a mandate, supported adoption with close to 100% participation.
- Converted from day rates to hourly across entire supply base and changed expense management to set standard and controls.
The value: Cost savings, efficiency, and improved visibility.
- Immediate cost savings by driving pre-identified talent into PPO (payroll).
- One source of information provides true 100% visibility.
- Improved process efficiency, both internally and externally, with strong supplier engagement and growth opportunities.
