The Institute for Human Resources Virtual Workshop has invited ClearPath Workforce Management to share its expertise on "Industry Trends in Contingent Workforce Management." ClearPath will make its presentation on January 30 as part of the two day virtual conference. A series of workshops are being carried out for the IHR Contract Workforce & Talent Exchange Certification Program, with this workshop being the fourth program.

Challenges faced by today’s economic climate are placed on their contingent workforce planning and management. Ways in which organizations can be positioned to properly address these challenges will be the focus of the panel. The panel will include senior vice president of strategy and solutions for ClearPath, Jason Posel, and chair of the advisory board for the IHR Contract Workforce and Talent Exchange, James Ware. Ware is also the executive director of The Future of Work Institute. The panel will also include Jerome Gerber, vice president at Volt Workforce Solutions; Elaine Orler, president at Talent Function Group; and Peter Carr, general manager at Flextrack.

In a release, Posel said, "Compliance is becoming an increasingly important factor when engaging temporary workers, particularly when it comes to classifying Independent Contractors and exempt versus non-exempt status."

According to Posel, managing all risk areas can be a challenging job. Companies leveraging a specialist firm to ensure they are compliant with the ever changing federal and state laws and regulation will be one of the main trends for 2012.

An independent Advisory Board has developed IHR's certification and accreditation process. The Advisory Board comprises of industry experts like ClearPath President, Renee Fink.

While the event is eligible for IHR, PHR, SPHR, and GPHR credits, attendees are not required to be enrolled in the certification program.
