CHICAGO September 25, 2006 -- Fieldglass, Inc., a leading provider of contingent workforce management and services procurement software, announced today that it will be a featured sponsor of the Second Annual Contingent Workforce Strategies Summit (http://www.cwsconference.com), which will be held October 25-26, 2006 at the Adam’s Mark Hotel in Dallas,
Texas. Produced by Staffing Industry Analysts, Inc., the world’s premier contingent workforce analyst firm, the CWS Summit is the only conference for major buyers of staffing, Managed Service Programs, and Vendor Management Systems (VMS). “Staffing Industry Analysts looks forward to this conference each year as it brings together an influential mix of experts from all parts of the staffing world. We are pleased that Fieldglass is once again participating in the Summit,” said Ron Mester, President and CEO of Staffing Industry Analysts, Inc.
Fieldglass CEO, Jai Shekhawat, will be participating along with other workforce practitioners on a panel entitled, Going Global: Contingent Workforce Issues Around the World. “We have an incredible opportunity today to tap into a truly global talent pool. Yet globalization requires a sophisticated understanding of global and
local workforce dynamics,” comments Mr. Shekhawat. This panel will address these dynamics, challenges and benefits of creating, sourcing, and managing a global contingent workforce.
The event will feature a keynote address by Daniel Pink, author of the best selling book, Free Agent Nation. Additionally, the conference will feature case studies from the world’s leading companies, and panel discussions, general sessions and breakout sessions where attendees will learn best practices and successful strategies relating to selecting and implementing a VMS, independent contractor compliance issues, metrics and benchmarking, risk management, diversity, negotiating with staffing suppliers and how to successfully integrate a temporary workforce into an existing organization. In addition, the summit will provide attendees with a wealth of valuable opportunities to network with peers and solution providers.
Jai Shekhawat reflects on last year’s summit, “This is the second year that we are participating in the Contingent Workforce Strategies Summit. If last year is any indication of the conference content, then this year should once again deliver high quality and relevant material that we can all utilize long after the conference is over.”
