PeopleFluent helps organizations address changing workforce balance

WALTHAM, USA: PeopleFluent, a social human capital management technology company, today unveiled its vision for the future of contingent workforce management with the announcement of the Vendor Management System (VMS) Mirror.

By focusing on the entire contingent workforce function instead of Talent Acquisition processes, the collaborative and engaging VMS Mirror creates a platform for effective change management and clear communication of new and existing vendor management policies.

Aberdeen Group research has revealed that nearly 26 percent of the average organization's total workforce is considered contingent or contract-based, even exceeding 50 percent in some cases. Even though the contingent workforce is an extremely significant, continually expanding portion of the total workforce, it is rarely used as a true strategic resource.

User engagement has been identified as one of the key barriers to the widespread adoption contingent workforce management systems.

"With the VMS Mirror we have created a single platform for education, information and action, giving organizations an engaging one-stop-shop to manage vendors and the contingent workforce," said Jeff Carr, CEO and president, PeopleFluent.

"The video and social components of the VMS Mirror deeply engage managers to drive widespread system adoption, and the powerful analytics allow managers to track the success of different programs, so they can see the value added."

The VMS Mirror creates a centralized system for managing contingent employees and service providers. It is designed around contingent talent to drive user engagement and create a more holistic user experience. The VMS Mirror makes it easy to drive adoption across an organization through pervasive video, strategic analytics and social collaboration technologies.

Primary functionality of the VMS Mirror includes a single, unified user experience, highly configurable social workspaces, interactive videos, pervasive analytics and mobile device compatibility. These key features fit together perfectly to create a collaborative all-in-one environment that engages managers and visually presents program value through powerful analytics.
