Large contingent workforce programs often struggle to balance speed, compliance, and control across intake, classification, onboarding, and payment. In this interactive working group, procurement, legal, and workforce leaders will discuss where contractor compliance processes break down, compare the guardrails that actually reduce risk, and explore how configurable platform workflows, classification rigor, and alternative engagement paths can help large global programs move faster without sacrificing defensibility.

• A practical framework for identifying where compliance friction shows up across the contractor lifecycle, from intake and approvals through onboarding, invoicing, payment, and reassessment
• Clear governance guardrails that improve speed and defensibility, including jurisdiction-specific review, reassessment triggers, audit trails, and documented escalation paths for higher-risk cases
• Practical decision points for when to keep an engagement on an IC path and when to shift to FMS, AOR, or EOR-supported models to maintain compliance and control at global scale
