Modernising the Chemicals Industry and Addressing the Skills Gap

<p>If you think bigger you will go further.</p>
<p>Our&nbsp;<a href="http://bit.ly/30LxeIB">blog</a>&nbsp;showcased just a few of the exceptional individuals who did this and pushed STEM further.</p>
<p>You may think that these kinds of innovators come one in a billion and they are unique in the way they think so how is it possible to think as big as them? Although talent, timing and opportunity is involved with these big breakthroughs, we are all able to be more like them.</p>
<p>Big thinkers often have daily habits in common, therefore, if we adapt our behaviours and make minor adjustments and additions to our routines, we will start to think bigger, then go further.</p>
<p>In 1989, the publication of &lsquo;<em>The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People</em>&rsquo; sold over 30 million copies, popularising the idea of creating personal success through small changes in behaviour. These days, the worldwide use of social media, truly global trends, fads, fashions and the ever-expanding community of influencers with their tips and tricks for self-development is colossal and ever-changing.</p>
<p>Understandably, it&rsquo;s difficult to recognise what healthy, realistic methods to take onboard.</p>
<p>By looking at the daily habits of innovators, we can spot the small changes that can have big impacts. Here are our top, easy habits to work into your routine:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>1) Stop hitting the snooze button</strong></h2>
<p>The process of thinking bigger may begin as soon as you wake up, literally.</p>
<p>Benefits of waking up early can be split into two rough groups. Firstly, you can be more efficient, time effective and organised with your whole day. Productivity wise, there is simply more time in your day to do more, you begin the day by planning and preparing for upcoming tasks and meetings, as well as react to the most urgent tasks or begin tackling any problems.<br><br>Alternatively, you are also able to do some life admin by ticking some chores off your to-do list as well as making sure you have breakfast! You will get more done at work and should be able to more easily ring-fence time for your personal life too.</p>
<p>Secondly, is how you can use this time to get in the right headspace, look after your mental health and take the opportunity for some self-care. Early morning is most likely going to be the quietest, calmest part of your day with the least amount of people and distractions around. As such, this can be an ideal time to relax, reflect or even meditate all of which are vital for balanced mental health. A&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5866730/">study from the NCBI</a>&nbsp;highlights the value of using this time when things are most silent as it helps with:</p>
<p>On top of all the above, Professor C. Randler of Heidelberg University found that people who are more proactive in the morning perform better at work.</p>
<p>The current CEO of tech giant Apple, Tim Cook, kicks the day off at 4:30 am to exercise, have breakfast and make sure he gets some peace and quiet before the day really takes off.</p>
<p>Benefits of rising early include:</p>
<ol>
<li>Increasing oxygen levels in the brain</li>
<li>Reducing blood pressure</li>
<li>Lessens migraines and headaches</li>
<li>Boost mental health wellbeing</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;A no-brainer, really.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>2) Get a move on</strong></h2>
<p>We all know to exercise in order to keep fit, but what is lesser known is how good it is for your brain. Ensuring your weekly routine has scheduled, frequent exercise will help unlock your thought potential. A study at Stanford University demonstrated that short walks can&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/xlm-a0036577.pdf">boost creativity</a>, a vital ingredient of innovation.</p>
<p>Productivity can also be boosted with exercise; two essential factors are high energy and a positive mood. A University of Glasgow&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0195666305000991">study showed</a>&nbsp;that exercise can increase both areas for a full day. It also benefits brain performance, in a clinical trial run by the Body-Brain Performance Institute in association with Swinburne&rsquo;s University, there were clear links between high physical fitness, brain function reduced stress levels at work.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Alan Turing, creator of the Enigma code breaker and considered the father of modern computing, was a talented and passionate long-distance runner. He was known to run the 40 miles from Bletchley Park to London to attend meetings regarding his work&hellip;<br><br>It can feel like a lot of effort to make exercise a habit but only a small amount is necessary to start reaping the rewards. You can get more exercise into your routine without going too out of your way, simple things such as walking to more places instead of driving. One&nbsp;<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/235275530_Exercising_at_work_and_self-reported_work_performance">study showed</a>&nbsp;that if you exercise at work you will increase performance straight away, so no extra time allocation may even be required!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>3) Plan, plan, plan</strong></h2>
<p>Whether you plan the night before, at the breakfast table or just set out your project plan before diving straight in, getting your ship in order makes it more likely that you will succeed. A&nbsp;study&nbsp;from the Dominican University of California revealed that people who wrote down their goals daily were 43% more likely to accomplish them.</p>
<p>Not only this but keeping clear plans means you can keep track of progress, your time management and you have a record of what you have done. Big thinkers always need to show what they have done and how they&rsquo;ve done it, not only to share innovations and ideas but also to remember what hasn&rsquo;t worked.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>4) Be a bookworm</strong></h2>
<p>Reading is a powerful tool for brain development, health and overall brain function and memory. This is because reading involves several different brain functions, including visual and auditory processes, fluency and comprehension.<br><br>Research at Haskins Laboratories for the Science of the Spoken and Written Word indicates that reading, unlike screen and audio media, allows our brains more time to pause, think, process, and imagine the content we are taking in. This increased mental activity sharpens memory and improves mental performance, just as weightlifting keeps muscle tissue strong and reliable. In addition, a study at the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.alzinfo.org/articles/reading-alzheimers-bay/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research Foundation</a>&nbsp;shows stimulation from reading also protects memory and thinking skills.<br><br>The engineer and technology entrepreneur Elon Musk is a notorious reader. In grade school, he read ten hours a day and apparently, a full BASIC programming language manual in three days, which was supposed to take six months. By 1984 standards, this would have given him a strong understanding of the most advanced programming at the time. See his&nbsp;<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-favorite-books-2014-10?op=1&amp;r=US&amp;IR=T#ignition-an-informal-history-of-liquid-rocket-propellants-by-john-d-clark-6">favourite books</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>5) And relax&hellip;</strong></h2>
<p>It seems a little exhausting trying to fit in all these habits. So, you&rsquo;ll be glad to hear that relaxing is vital! If you take breaks from work you are able to recharge energy and motivation to use when you go back to it, in turn increasing your focus and attention thus upping productivity.<br><br>Relaxation brings other benefits, including lifting your mood by making sure you socialise to absorbing ideas from films, games and books. As an example, meditation improves concentration and attention, a&nbsp;<a href="http://pss.sagepub.com/content/24/5/776">study</a>&nbsp;found that a few weeks of meditation helped focus memory by 16% when tested before and after the period.<br><br>Moreover, a 2010 study in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.google.com/url?url=http://scholar.google.com/scholar_url?url=http://www.academia.edu/download/39616081/Mindfulness_meditation_improves_cognitio20151102-1793-1onmb2t.pdf&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;scisig=AAGBfm17HHi_zkdir4KUxk7O3854JpCSiA&amp;nossl=1&amp;oi=scholarr&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwjKiILR-PDNAhVS3WMKHXYKDkcQgAMIHCgBMAA&amp;usg=AFQjCNFVgPBBkofFacFmVR1hDUXdXY6KfQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Consciousness and Cognition Journal</em></a>, showed that meditation improves mood and mindfulness but crucially reduced fatigue and anxiety. A brief meditation programme significantly improved mental processing, working&nbsp;memory and function.<br><br>It can appear hard to fit more time in to relax in the hectic lives we live but there are some easy, surprising ways to do this. Simply leaving the office on lunch to eat in a nearby park, going to a yoga class on Sunday mornings, reading before bed instead of watching that next episode on Netflix to having a bath instead of a shower are just a few ways to do this.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Take the next step</strong></h2>
<p>These few habits can have massive benefits on the way your brain works, how you think, and the ways in which you view yourself and abilities. As a result, they will naturally enhance your ability to think bigger which will make you go further.</p>

5 Daily Habits for Career Success

<h3><em>Have you ever set yourself a goal and then got bogged down in trying to achieve it? You may be setting the wrong type of goals.</em></h3>
<p>Understanding the difference between means goals and end goals is the key. Very often the two types of goals get mixed up. An end goal should be something that brings you fulfilment, the means goals are the steps you need to take to get you to the end goal. When we focus only on the specifics of how to get something rather than the &lsquo;what&rsquo; and the &lsquo;why&rsquo;, we can get blocked and frustrated.</p>
<p>Often, we set goals based on what we know right now and then what we can see as the next logical step.&nbsp;However, this can keep us narrow minded. If we set a goal based on the end result, we want our brains are then free to find multiple ways of achieving those goals.</p>
<p>As an example, say you want to progress in your career or you want a promotion. In such an instance, you may focus on working harder, staying later, or going to certain networking events. To a certain extent, this goal is out of your hands because it depends on other people, the type of company you work for, your boss, and/or the opportunities available within the company you are in.</p>
<p>If you instead focused on the end goal, your pathway to attaining a promotion might look very different. The end goal might then be, &ldquo;<em>I want to reach my full potential within the environment I am in</em>." In defining the goal in this way, you are opening up your options and your brain is then able to tap into all sorts of inspiration to help you reach it and you are more likely to feel fulfilled rather than frustrated.</p>
<p>Such a&nbsp;goal is portable: you can take it anywhere, you can reach your full potential within your environment regardless of whether someone rewards you for it, AND you can reach your full potential within your environment whether it is at company A, B or another route altogether.</p>
<p>There are a couple of exercises that can help you work out your end goals and separate them from your means goals.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Exercise 1: distinguishing means goals from end goals</strong></h2>
<p>The first exercise is based on the Japanese business practice called the "five whys" (originally aimed at getting to the root cause of a problem, but can also be used in goal-setting).</p>
<p>The process involves looking at your goal and asking yourself a series of "whys" until you reach a conclusion about the intention of your goal. This helps separate the two types of goals out from each other.<br><br>Though you don't always have to aim for five whys, try to ask as many whys as possible. In the following example, there are four:</p>
<p>"I want a promotion."<br><br><em>Why?</em></p>
<p>"Because I want more money."</p>
<p><em>Why?</em></p>
<p>"Because I want to travel."</p>
<p><em>Why?</em></p>
<p>"Because I want a life of experience and adventure" --&nbsp;<strong>this is the end goal.<br><br></strong></p>
<p>Another example might be:</p>
<p>"I want to leave my job."<br><br><em>Why?</em></p>
<p>"Because it isn't flexible enough."</p>
<p><em>Why?</em></p>
<p>"Because I am not around enough for my children, and I feel I'm not performing as a parent."</p>
<p><em>Why?</em></p>
<p>"Because I want to be present for my children as they grow up" --&nbsp;<strong>again,</strong>&nbsp;<strong>this is the end goal.</strong></p>
<p>The end goal should always be the starting point, meaning all the other goals above become means goals. The end goal keeps you motivated along the way and helps your creativity and inspiration flow -- helping you to achieve that life of adventure and experience or find the job that creates the freedom and choice around working hours.</p>
<p>You can bring this model of goal setting into the workplace which also works really well in a professional setting. In this instance, the means goals is setting a target of calling ten clients a day:</p>
<p>"We need to call ten clients a day."<br><br><em>Why?</em></p>
<p>"Because we want to win new business."</p>
<p><em>Why?</em></p>
<p>"Because we want to grow as a team."</p>
<p><em>Why?</em></p>
<p>"Because we want to open up more opportunities for team members to progress within the business."</p>
<p><em>Why?</em></p>
<p>"Because team members have their own individual end goals that they want to achieve" --&nbsp;<strong>end goal.</strong></p>
<p><br>Another way to answer this same initial question might be:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>"We need to call ten clients a day."<br><br><em>Why?</em></p>
<p>"Because we want to win new business."</p>
<p><em>Why?</em></p>
<p>"Because we know the product we are selling really helps our customers."</p>
<p><em>Why?</em></p>
<p>"Because we all want to work for a company that ultimately strives to help people." --&nbsp;<strong>end goal.<br></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>By stepping away from the means goal -- calling ten clients a day -- the end goal becomes apparent and the daily task has a purpose that is greater than itself. In other words, those ten client calls a day may turn into other creative ways of winning new business.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Exercise 2: defining your end goals</strong></h2>
<p>This exercise revolves around three questions and helps you really define what your end goals are. Once you have defined them you can then put things in place to help you achieve them (the means goals).</p>
<p>Take a piece of paper and divide it into three columns. In the first column, write the heading&nbsp;<strong>Experiences</strong>; in the middle column, write the heading&nbsp;<strong>Growth</strong>; and in the final column write the heading&nbsp;<strong>Contribution</strong>.</p>
<p>When you break goals down into these three areas, you'll cover all the important elements of what is most likely to give you fulfilment.</p>

</table>
<p>When you start to look at goals in this way, you can then begin to find multiple pathways towards achieving them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Understanding the brain&rsquo;s contribution to goal-setting</strong></h2>
<p>If you start with the end goal, you will increase your chances of succeeding. The brain thrives on end-goal-setting because of the way it is wired to respond. The part of your brain that creates emotion is called the amygdala; part of its job is to evaluate the degree to which the goal is important to you. The frontal lobe of your brain then defines the specifics of what the goal entails.</p>
<p>These two areas work together to keep you focused on, and moving towards, your goal and help you ignore the behaviours and situations that move you away. Your brain structure constantly changes (through a process called neuroplasticity) to keep itself optimised to reaching that goal.</p>
<p>Of course, there are other parts of the brain at play which may try to tell you that you can&rsquo;t achieve the goal (your fear centre, the amygdala again!) because of engrained beliefs you have about yourself (usually from childhood). This is why the goals that you are more emotionally attached to -- the ones you feel will fulfil you --&nbsp; are more likely to be achieved.</p>
<p>In conclusion, the brain needs to know how important a goal is to you to help you adopt behaviours and spot opportunities to bring you closer to achieving that goal. If you identify what you want and why you want it (the end goal) first, you are more likely to be motivated to achieving it. The brain will help you find multiple ways of reaching your goal. The skill lies in separating out the end goal from the means goals first.</p>

Understanding the difference between means goals and end goals is the key. Very often the two types of goals get mixed up. An end goal should be something that brings you fulfilment, the means goals are the steps you need to take to get you to the end goal. When we focus only on the specifics of how to get something rather than the ‘what’ and the ‘why’, we can get blocked and frustrated.

Career Goal Setting - Goal Celebration

<h3><em>STEM is driven by innovation. It is a symbol of progress and provides solutions to our greatest challenges. From the creation of the steam engine and discovering the molecular structure of DNA to unlocking our smartphones with facial recognition, one thing is constant: individuals who think bigger push STEM discoveries further.</em></h3>
<p>Thinking bigger is essential in making big leaps, inventing new products and turning sectors on their head. We are dedicating this blog to a few extraordinary people who thought bigger and went further.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Engineering: Lucy Hughes</strong></h3>
<p>Throughout 2019, we saw the rise of Extinction Rebellion. Aged only 16, Greta Thunberg led a global movement seeing countless students skipping school and taking to the streets in protest of the unfolding climate catastrophe. Sir David Attenborough echoed these messages to world leaders at 2020's&nbsp;<a href="http://opentranscripts.org/transcript/greta-thunberg-world-economic-forum-2019/">Davos forum</a>, with&nbsp;the UK Government being the first major economy to set a new target to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-becomes-first-major-economy-to-pass-net-zero-emissions-law">bring all greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050</a>.</p>
<p>STEM industries are at the forefront of finding solutions both short term and long-term to this pressing problem.</p>
<p>As a case in point, there is an estimated 300 million tonnes of plastic in our oceans already, with 8 million tonnes added each year.</p>
<p>The problems caused by plastics are varied -- from killing whales (as they mistake them as jellyfish and clog their digestive systems) to raising the levels of micro-plastics building up in the food chain. As plastics can take hundreds of years to degrade, it is critical that we clean up our ecosystems to stop these short- and long-term impacts.</p>
<p>In 2019, the British designer&nbsp;<strong>Lucy Hughes</strong>&nbsp;thought big, acted and went further in the fight against plastic pollution.</p>
<p>Single-use plastics are considered a key issue, one which the University of Sussex graduate tackled head-on. Often such issues are thought about in a linear way. Going further than the norm, she found a suitable waste product from the fishing industry, reducing the environmental impact from a whole different sector.</p>
<p>The properties of fish skin and scales have the ideal properties to make a durable, strong and water-resistant material. Through experimentation, Hughes found a biological binding agent which would join the matter extracted from the fish skin to engineer the bioplastic she called MarinaTex. With a biodegrade period of four to six weeks in a household compost environment, the material doesn&rsquo;t remain in our environment and isn&rsquo;t harmful even when broken down.</p>
<p>Ideal for substituting many single-use plastics this could be a gamechanger in the fight to reduce plastic waste. For her work, Hughes was awarded the UK Dyson Award 2019.</p>
<p>Hughes&rsquo;s mindset went beyond the standard engineering process; she saw the whole picture and confronted numerous issues. As a result of thinking bigger she has gone further in her field and created a novel, improved solution.</p>
<p>As Hughes commented, &ldquo;for me, MarinaTex represents a commitment to material innovation and selection by incorporating sustainable, local and circular values into design. As creators, we should not limit ourselves to designing to just form and function, but rather form, function and footprint.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Science: Rosalind Franklin</strong></h3>
<p>Thinking bigger can challenge stigmas and force essential change. A standout example of this is the case of&nbsp;<strong>Rosalind Franklin</strong>.</p>
<p>She persisted in her research and contribution to the discovery of the molecular structure of the DNA double helix. Fifteen months before J. D. Watson and F. Crick published their famous description of the molecular structure of DNA, Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling (who was supervised by Franklin) took the crucial X-ray diffraction image labelled Photo 51. From this photo, it was calculated that DNA forms a helix, which was an essential piece of evidence that Watson and Crick needed to work out the molecular structure of DNA.</p>
<p>The science of DNA and following understandings stemming from this has led to the discovery of some of the most important methods used in healthcare and scientific practice. However, this inspired piece of scientific discovery would not have been achievable without Franklin.</p>
<p>The discovery of the structure&nbsp;of DNA resulted in James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins sharing the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962.</p>
<p>Franklin was an inspirational individual who forged her own path in science, she is often regarded as a beacon of progress for women in STEM. She thought big, did not let the social &lsquo;norms&rsquo; of the era stop her and her persistence and intelligence pushed her in her work and helped pave the way for more women pioneers.</p>

<h3><strong>Clinical: Shinya Yamanaka</strong></h3>
<p>The key&nbsp;<a href="http://www.laskerfoundation.org/awards/show/stem-cells-and-their-dual-properties-self-renewal-and-differentiation/">properties of adult stem cells</a>&nbsp;were defined by Ernest McCulloch and James Till in the 1960s through experiments in mice. Subsequent work in 1981 by Martin Evans and Matthew Kaufman allowed the isolation of embryonic stem cell.</p>
<p>It has been a challenge to use embryonic stem cells in scientific research, as some believe it to be unethical because sourcing them requires extraction from an embryo. However, adult stem cells cannot differentiate into numerous types of cell in the human body as embryonic cells can so the possibilities of research and discovery are restricted.</p>
<p>One scientist wanted to unlock the unique potential of embryonic stem cells as well as finding a solution to the ethical concerns around embryonic cell use. In 2006,&nbsp;<strong>Shinya Yamanaka</strong>&nbsp;of Kyoto University devised a method of making embryonic-like cells from adult cells. His team reprogramed ordinary adult cells by inserting four key genes &ndash; forming &ldquo;induced pluripotent stem cells&rdquo; that had the same properties as embryonic cells.</p>
<p>For his pioneering work, Yamanaka, along with his colleague,<strong>&nbsp;</strong>John Gurdon, was&nbsp;<a href="https://institutions.newscientist.com/article/dn22346-nobel-winning-stem-cell-pioneer/">presented with the 2012 Nobel Prize</a>&nbsp;for Physiology and Medicine.</p>
<p>This revolutionary work has blown open the doors for the use of stem cells in clinical treatments and healthcare science. Yamanaka was the one who thought about and enabled the solution for both the ethical and scientific factors, which unleashed the potential and pushed Stem research further.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Following their lead</strong></h3>
<p>Thinking big results in going further and these individuals are testament to this.</p>
<p>It will be exciting to see how these discoveries continue to evolve over the years and learn about the individuals who take these ideas and push them on to the next level.</p>
<p>At SRG, we believe in this philosophy and it is one of our core values. It informs how we innovate, go to market, engage with people and work with clients and candidates.<br><br>If it&rsquo;s time for you to&nbsp;<a href="https://srgtalent-cm-scprod.impellam.com/insights/think-bigger-go-further">think bigger and go further</a>&nbsp;in your STEM career, or if you&rsquo;re taking that first step into your STEM career, you can apply for our job opportunities&nbsp;<a href="http://bit.ly/2NmwRyC"><strong>here</strong></a>.</p>

STEM is driven by innovation. It is a symbol of progress and provides solutions to our greatest challenges. From the creation of the steam engine and discovering the molecular structure of DNA to unlocking our smartphones with facial recognition, one thing is constant: individuals who think bigger push STEM discoveries further.

<h2>What is a Managed Service Provider (MSP)?</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A managed service provider (MSP) or contingent workforce solution (CWS), manages the temporary worker recruitment for an organisation and is responsible for the end-to-end management of the contingent workforce - from supplier management and strategic workforce planning to contractor care and offboarding.</p><p>In the recruitment industry, the term &lsquo;MSP&rsquo; can refer to either a managed service programme OR a managed service provider. The difference between the two is that a managed service programme is a contingent workforce solution (CWS), while a managed service provider is a specialist who delivers this solution.</p><p>In other words, &lsquo;managed service programme&rsquo; and &lsquo;contingent workforce solution&rsquo; can be used interchangeably to describe the service offered by a managed service provider like SRG. To avoid further confusion, we&rsquo;ll stick to full terms from here on out.</p>

<h2>What are the benefits of a managed service provider or contingent workforce solution?</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In an increasingly competitive contingent talent market, turning to a managed service programme brings several key benefits to a business.</p><details class="mce-accordion"><summary><strong>Control</strong></summary><p>Hiring managers can easily acquire strong talent thanks to streamlined, standardised processes across all suppliers &mdash; driving down time-to-hire.</p></details><details class="mce-accordion"><summary><strong>Visibility</strong></summary><p>You&rsquo;ll gain oversight of the entire contingent workforce via a tailored VMS that provides regular reporting and a clear audit trail.</p></details><details class="mce-accordion"><summary><strong>Compliance and risk mitigation.</strong></summary><p>&nbsp;With external experts managing all legislative and governance requirements, you&rsquo;ll be brought up to speed on compliance best practices and ensure your business is fully compliant.</p></details><details class="mce-accordion"><summary><strong>Supply chain efficiency</strong></summary><p>By running all contractor and supplier engagement through a single trusted provider, you&rsquo;ll significantly reduce administrative burden.</p></details><details class="mce-accordion"><summary><strong>Agility</strong></summary><p>With the experience of a managed service provider to call upon, you can better respond to market shifts and improve efficiencies &mdash; making your organisation more agile in the process.</p></details><details class="mce-accordion"><summary><strong>Cost savings</strong></summary><p>A managed service provider will secure substantial cost savings through exercises such as supply base reduction and staffing benchmarking.</p></details><details class="mce-accordion"><summary><strong>Scalability</strong></summary><p>Working with an extensive supplier base, a managed service provider can find you alternative sources of talent when your supply chain fails to deliver &mdash; enabling you to scale your programme up or down according to your immediate business needs.</p></details><details class="mce-accordion"><summary><strong>Governance</strong></summary><p>Ensuring internal mandating of rates, compliance, and processes.</p></details><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Utilising a managed service provider is a win-win for any business with a sizeable temporary workforce. By building relationships with your business users to understand the ins and outs of your organisation, a dedicated team of industry experts manages your suppliers, sources top talent, and drives best practices on your behalf.</p>

<p>One of the most effective ways a business can successfully manage its contingent workforce is by calling on the expertise of a third-party solutions provider &mdash; particularly one with a dedicated account management team, an optimised vendor management system (VMS), and a focus on control and cost savings.</p>

Managed Service Provider &amp; Contingent Workforce Solutions

<h2>Is an MSP solution right for my business?</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While contingent working has grown at a phenomenal pace in recent years, finding top contingent talent with the most critical skills is an increasingly costly and time-consuming process. With contingent workers (ie. non-employees) making up 40% of the workforce, being able to attract the best talent is crucial.</p><p>If your organisation has a medium-to-large contingent workforce, a managed service programme is the ideal solution. Whether you&rsquo;re looking to improve visibility, compliance,&nbsp;or control, or simply want a fresh recruitment strategy with a new partner, we can build a solution that works for your business.</p><p>Managed service provider solutions don&rsquo;t work for every business, particularly those without sizeable contingent workforces. If you&rsquo;re a scaleup or a startup with a smaller contingent workforce, one of our other recruitment services may prove a better fit.</p>
