While e-mail and calendar applications are the most popular, more enterprises are starting to implement line-of-business apps that promote greater efficiency, such as mobile vendor management system (VMS) technology. The same functions that many HR professionals now perform on their computer – creating requisitions, selecting candidates, approving timesheets and setting up reports – can now be done from a phone or tablet.

In this webinar, we will discuss the benefits of a Mobile VMS, how you can leverage them and how they can make you more efficient. We will also explore the questions that should be asked when reviewing Mobile VMS options.

The contracting of HR services and products has become easier but more complex. How is that possible? There are so many providers to select from and very easy to get into the marketplace. However navigating the scoring of functional value, fit of partnership, business case validation of cost and change management have now placed a lot of work on HR. No longer will procurement / strategic sourcing send out an RFP and give you the top three bidders with the lowest cost basis and have you select the correct provider for your company. And it is rarely appropriate to short list only best in class as it may not be best fit for your organization. Spend time with us as we discuss how to create a positive environment for the evaluation and selection of HR providers.
