A Manager Copilot for Contingent Labour – Faster, Safer, Cheaper

Managers lose days hopping systems to hire contractors. Learn how a cross-functional Workforce Solutions remit – People Analytics + EX portal + contingent ops – can cut cycle time, reduce rework and give Finance a trustworthy view of spend and risk. We'll show the policy-as-code decision service, the light-touch architecture that plugs into any VMS/ATS/HCM, and the governance that keeps Legal and Procurement on side. You'll see what failed first, what fixed it, and the numbers that convinced Finance. Walk away with a replication playbook and KPI set you can use next quarter.

• Mandate and goals – align Analytics, EX/portal and contingent labour on speed, compliance and cost.
• Decision framework – minimal questions, policy-as-code, decision rights and audit trail.
• Architecture – portal UI → decision service → VMS/ATS/HCM/ticketing; identity and error handling.
• Governance – role-based access, logging, prompt standards, red-team tests, privacy boundaries and escalation.
• Evidence and scale – finance-grade results (cycle time, right-first-time, rework, exceptions, spend visibility, adoption) and a replication playbook.

• Understand how to define a cross-functional mandate that makes Finance, Legal and Procurement co-owners of workforce outcomes.
• Learn how to create a minimal but effective copilot that improves compliance and manager experience without overbuilding.
• Gain practical models for governance, guard-rails and finance-grade measurement to prove value and secure adoption.
• Take away a simple rollout playbook to pilot fast, measure early and scale responsibly across geographies.

Contingent labour often rivals permanent headcount, yet managers traverse multiple systems, unclear policies and manual rework – driving delay, risk and hidden spend. With mergers, platform changes and tightening regulation, CFOs and Legal expect faster, compliant routes and finance-grade transparency. This session answers those pressures with vendor-neutral design and outcome-centred governance aligned to PAWorld's standards.
