Fragmentation is the most common failure in contingent workforce programs. It builds slowly through rational decisions: another vendor for another region, another point tool for a specific need, another workaround to bridge systems that weren’t built to connect. The program looks functional, but risk compounds and success deteriorates.
According to SIA’s 2026 Workforce Solutions Buyer Survey, program adoption is the #1 challenge contingent workforce leaders face this year, ahead of cost savings, AI, and legal/regulatory risk. Meanwhile, 54% of respondents manage SOW arrangements outside the CW program entirely, and more than 30% estimate that rogue spend exceeds 20% of their total contingent spend. Only 3% of programs have reached the highest maturity level. The operating model gap is real, measurable, and growing.
Join contingent workforce, HR, and TA leaders to explore the Workforce Unification Framework: a structured operating model for reducing fragmentation, restoring visibility, and scaling workforce programs with confidence.
What is Workforce Unification?
Workforce unification is an operating model built on three interdependent components: people (clear ownership and governance), process (standardized workflows that scale), and platform (a true system of record). When all three work together, programs gain visibility, reduce compliance risk, and can expand across geographies and worker types without breaking.
What You’ll Discover
-
Why fragmentation is the real risk – it’s not a vendor problem or a technology problem, but an operating structure issue that builds until it’s complex and expensive to unwind
-
The People, Process, Platform framework – how clear ownership, standard workflows, and a unified system of record work together to give program leaders control at scale
-
Stakeholder alignment – how to connect HR, TA, Procurement, Finance, Legal, and Operations to shared KPIs without creating resistance
-
Measuring what matters – proof-of-performance metrics by stakeholder group, beyond headcount and spend
-
Where to start – a self-assessment to identify the gaps and misalignment in your current program, and a practical first step
Why Attend
-
Apply the Workforce Unification Framework to your own program using the self-assessment checklist
-
Understand how to make the business case for unification in terms executives and cross-functional stakeholders act on
-
Learn how other contingent workforce and TA leaders are addressing fragmentation before it compounds
-
Connect with peers navigating the same complexity across vendor ecosystems, classification risk, and global expansion
