Our bite-sized courses break it down into practical, easy-to-digest insights so you can navigate this new landscape with confidence.

Highlights include:
  • Introduction to the Contingent Workforce
  • Compliance in Contingent Workforce Management
  • Pt 1: Working with Managed Service Providers (MSPs)
