Future of Work Exchange

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming part of the workforce technology landscape, but the most effective applications may not be the ones that attempt to remove people from the process. Instead, AI is increasingly being positioned as a capability that can augment workflows, improve decision-making, and give leaders better information while preserving human judgment. That […]

Direct sourcing is hardly a new concept, but its role in the extended workforce continues to evolve. What began as an emerging strategy for accessing known talent populations has become an increasingly important component of broader workforce programs. As Atrium’s VP of Enterprise Solutions, Kelly Couto, discussed during a recent Future of Work Exchange (FOWX) […]

Technology is…technology. It’s innovative, it’s powerful, and, for decades, has revolutionized the ways both people and professionals navigate everyday life. The rapid rise of artificial intelligence over the past few years is a technology revolution unlike anything anyone alive today has ever witnessed or experienced. Yet, the realm of AI today is no longer just […]

The extended workforce has become too important for organizations to manage through disconnected programs and isolated service providers. With contingent talent representing roughly 48% to 49% of the workforce in many industries, organizations increasingly need a more strategic approach to managing how work gets done. The challenge is not simply finding talent, as was pointed […]

The contingent workforce has become too important to manage as a collection of isolated transactions. Organizations are balancing fluctuating demand, specialized skills, constrained budgets, supplier relationships, compliance requirements, and growing expectations around workforce flexibility. As a result, contingent workforce leaders are increasingly being asked to do more than fill openings. They are being asked to […]

Worker classification has become one of the more complex challenges facing organizations that rely on independent contractors, freelancers, and other forms of contingent talent. Shifting regulations, varying state requirements, and high-profile misclassification cases have created an environment where companies can be tempted to take the safest-looking path: classify more workers as employees or use an […]

No, this isn’t another discussion of why total talent management is more reality than theory (although, stay tuned to the Future of Work Exchange for that!). This is, however, a discussion of another much-hyped phrase that has been rising amongst the many buzzwords in the greater HR and workforce industry. Talent orchestration. The very realm […]

The healthcare workforce is undergoing a fundamental transformation. What was once largely a staffing and fulfillment challenge has become a broader question of workforce orchestration. Health systems must balance limited clinical talent, complex credentialing requirements, fluctuating demand, financial pressure, and the need to provide an experience that attracts and retains skilled professionals. During a recent […]

Jobs reports that look pretty solid…and then are adjusted (negatively). Stock market booms and expands…but the economy feels a little weird. Unemployment doesn’t seem like it’s that bad…but a quick trip through LinkedIn shows so many folks with green banners searching for new gigs. Gas is too expensive. Two wars rage on the other side […]

Healthcare has always been one of the most essential parts of the workforce, but the way health systems manage talent is changing rapidly. For years, workforce management often centered on a straightforward objective: fill an open position. Today, that approach is no longer sufficient. Health systems are increasingly focused on understanding the workforce they have, […]
