Unlock the Power of Contingent Workforce

As the business landscape evolves, one thing is clear: contingent labour is no longer a supplementary workforce strategy. It has become essential to how organisations remain flexible, cost-efficient, and competitive in today’s rapidly changing market. In 2025, contingent labour—freelancers, contractors, consultants, and temporary staff—will play an even greater role in shaping the future of work.

Whether you’re in procurement, HR, or talent management, understanding how to navigate and leverage these trends will be critical to your success. Below, we highlight a snapshot of emerging trends that are transforming how organisations engage contingent workers and the steps you can take to stay ahead.

Key Trends to Watch

1. The Growth of Contingent Labour: The contingent workforce now represents 20% of the global labour market, and by 2025, this could increase to 30% in developed economies. As payroll costs rise—up by 75% in some cases—businesses are embracing flexible talent solutions to stay agile and adaptable.
2. Compliance & Risk Management: With increasingly complex labour regulations, compliance has become a top priority. Misclassification risks have never been higher, with 30-60% of contingent spend at risk if not managed properly. Strong compliance frameworks are essential to mitigate risks and avoid costly penalties.
3. Technological Advancements in Workforce Management: New technologies like AI-driven analytics and Vendor Management Systems (VMS) are revolutionising contingent workforce management. These tools streamline operations, optimise costs, and provide real-time insights into worker performance, helping organisations make smarter, cost effective decisions.

Why This Matters for Your Business

For procurement specialists and talent managers, these trends offer powerful insights into how to manage contingent workers effectively while driving cost savings and ensuring compliance. The rise of contingent labour gives businesses the agility to scale their workforce quickly, access specialised talent, and maintain a competitive edge in a fast-paced market.
