“The contract workforce is becoming central to the economic recovery, and a key component of business strategy for many firms. It has been less than a year since this Institute was launched. In that short time, the Institute has produced four extremely informative two-day events, equipping HR professionals with considerable expertise in contract workforce management. The Institute’s online certification program specific to the contract workforce domain is a one-of-a-kind offering in the HR executive arena”
