8:20 AM Power Panel: Putting People First - Prioritizing Health And Wellness In Contingent Staffing

Start your ProcureCon journey with energy, mindfulness, and a renewed focus on what truly sustains our industry — our people. In this powerful opening discussion, leaders from across the contingent workforce ecosystem will shine a light on an often-overlooked topic: the health, wellness, and mental resilience of the professionals who power this industry every day.

From managing complex global programs to meeting unrelenting demands for innovation and compliance, burnout and fatigue have become silent challenges across procurement, talent, and supplier communities alike. This session is a call to action to prioritize balance, connection, and well-being — because a healthy industry starts with healthy professionals.

Together, we’ll explore how individuals, teams, and organizations can build cultures of care, create space for recovery, and support sustainable careers in contingent workforce management. You’ll leave with strategies to bring more mindfulness, empathy, and energy into your work — and to make the most of your ProcureCon experience.

Key Takeaways:
  • Learn how to identify and prevent burnout across contingent workforce teams.
  • Discover how leaders are embedding wellness, balance, and mental health into their program culture.
  • Gain strategies for maintaining focus, purpose, and energy throughout the conference and beyond.

9:10 AM Track Presentation: Borders, Budgets, and Blind Spots: Building a Scalable Global Talent Model

Engaging talent globally is no longer a growth strategy reserved for large multinational companies; it’s a mainstream business decision. Organizations of all sizes are accessing global talent to scale faster, fill critical skill gaps, and enter new markets. However, many companies still approach global talent the same way they approach domestic hiring, and that’s where challenges begin.

Engaging talent globally isn’t just about access. It is about understanding the borders you cross, the budgets you impact, and the blind spots that can quietly derail growth.

  • Compliance is not one-size-fits-all
  • Global talent requires a global strategy, not a patchwork of local fixes
  • Global talent isn’t a transaction, it’s a strategy
