Take time to reassess
and re-negotiate
Workforce needs evolve, and so should your supplier relationships.
Periodically reassess:
Contract terms: Are they still fit for purpose?
Pricing structures: Are you getting competitive rates?
Service levels: Are suppliers meeting expectations?
Use performance data and market intelligence to renegotiate contracts
that reflect current realities and future ambitions.

Collaborate with
other functions
Workforce management is not the sole responsibility of HR or procurement
- it’s a cross-functional effort. Collaborate with:
Finance to align budgets and track ROI.
Legal to ensure contracts and practices meet regulatory standards.
Operations to forecast demand and plan workforce deployment.
Cross-functional collaboration ensures that workforce strategies are integrated,
scalable, and sustainable.
5
Partner with
an expert
If internal capacity is stretched or expertise is limited, consider partnering
with a Managed Service Provider (MSP). An MSP can:
Provide strategic oversight and operational support.
Deliver cost savings and compliance assurance.
Offer access to market intelligence and proprietary technology platforms.
Working with an MSP allows your teams to focus on strategic priorities while ensuring
workforce programmes are professionally managed and continuously optimised.
