Merry Christmas
From all the team at Quadrant Executive we would like to wish you a very merry Christmas and a strong New Year.
Our take on 2011 is that “IT WAS A TOUGH YEAR”!
With activity building substantially in the last quarter, we see an increasing number of organisations taking action in 2012 – whether this is by way of acquisition, restructure, realignment or significant investment, the time of waiting seems to be over for many.
The impact of this will again highlight the importance of TALENT – identifying, retaining and developing your key talent. Our view is that the war for talent hasn't even begun yet and this challenge will continue to confront us well into the future. Read more below on how global trends are emerging.
Our best wishes to you all and we look forward to being able to support and grow with our clients, candidates and colleagues through the next 12 months.

Compliant Workforce Engagement
Aberdeen research predicts 25% of the average company's workforce will be considered contingent in 2012 - forcing organisations across the globe to take a hard look at how well they are managing temporary labour. In an age where the "contingent workforce umbrella" is a prevalent aspect of a business' success, it is critical for companies to gain intelligence and visibility into the spending and utilisation of their entire non-employee workforce - including temporary workers, independent contractors and SOW-based projects and services.
If you believe some who have commented on this transition, this is an unwanted trend that is demtrimental to our community. However, some reseach by WorkPro found more than 86% of the contingent workforce choose temporary roles, not take them as a ‘last resort’.
Quadrant has introduced the Quadrant People Solution (QPS) - a workforce engagement solution that drives performance and superior management of your contingent workforce. QPS will deliver the following benefits:
Complete risk mitigation for both your organisation and individuals
Reduced ongoing administration costs and spend on external suppliers (including existing agency relationships)
Maximum cash flow, net income and wealth creation benefits for individuals
Skills retention and an enhanced performance focus
An enterprise vendor management system (VMS) for managing contingent labour and statement of work spend
