Often, the first challenge is simply understanding the workforce you already have.

A practical place to start is with your suppliers.

Identify the suppliers providing people and services to your business, understand the associated spend, and bring that information together into a single view.

It won’t give you a perfect headcount — but it will start to reveal the scale, shape and potential complexity of your external workforce.

That spend view can then help you:

• Identify where external workforce is being engaged
• Highlight areas of significant spend and potential risk
• Estimate the scale of the population
• Start building the evidence behind the business case for Workforce Management

You don’t need perfect data to start the journey.

Sometimes, you just need enough visibility to show why the journey needs to begin.
