Industry, scope, size and whether it is a first or second generation program, create complex dynamics when determining engagement models for independent contractors. This session will focus on the experiences of two practitioners that had distinctly different needs in engaging independents. Whether your organization currently lacks a formal program or you are looking to optimize your existing program, you will want to hear how Ecolab and Cisco defined what a successful program should look like within their respective organizations. The presenters will share the key drivers and how they designed solutions that mitigated risk, optimized engagement processes and established foundations for program growth.
