Human Resource Challenges
October 14th, 2009
Modern human resource management professionals are often challenged to strike a balance between the speed with which to respond to the changing requirements of an organization and the cost of providing the right resources. This becomes a delicate balancing act. Human resource managers must ensure that they take care of short-term requirements as they relate to temporary staffing resources while also ensuring that the firm develops the capabilities required in the future. Strategic staffing consolidates these long-term and short-term requirements.
Strategic staffing distinguishes between core and contingent workforces. The core workforce is indefinite employment with the company and, in theory, is retained because of its contribution to the viability and sustainable competitive advantage of the firm. The contingent workforce compliments the core by providing flexibility in numbers, intermittently required non-core competencies, and retention of key talent during vacations, projects or leaves.

Here are three of our highly skilled professionals available to compliment your current permanent accounting department:
