Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Managed Service Program (MSP)?
This is a structured method of managing an organisations' contingent workforce needs, including the provision, oversight, and coordination of a staffing supply chain. An MSP ensures that businesses can efficiently acquire temporary workers, independent contractors, and specialised talent services through streamlined procurement and workforce management processes.
How does an MSP benefit my company?
Implementing an MSP offers a multitude of benefits: enhanced visibility over workforce and spend, cost reductions through streamlined supplier management and volume discounts, improved compliance with labour laws and regulations, and access to a broader talent pool through an efficiently managed supply chain. Essentially, it allows companies to focus on their core business while ensuring their staffing needs are met efficiently and effectively.
Who manages a Managed Service Program?
Typically, an MSP is managed by an external service provider specialised in workforce management solutions. These providers have the expertise, information technology, and network to manage your contingent workforce effectively. They work closely with your HR and procurement teams to ensure the program aligns with your business objectives.
How is an MSP staffing different from traditional solutions?
A successful MSP encompasses several key components: a clear governance structure to align with business goals, a robust technology platform for visibility and management, a comprehensive supplier management strategy to ensure quality and efficiency, and a data-driven approach for continuous improvement and decision-making. Moreover, strong partnership and communication between the client and the MSP provider are crucial for achieving desired outcomes.
Can an MSP be customised for small or niche market needs?
Absolutely. One of the strengths of an MSP is its flexibility and scalability. Providers can tailor programs to meet the specific needs of any organisation, regardless of size or industry. This includes designing solutions that address unique challenges, such as managing niche talent pools or complying with specific regulatory requirements. The goal is always to ensure that the MSP solution aligns perfectly with the client's business strategy and workforce needs.
What is the process for implementing an MSP?
Implementing an MSP involves several steps: assessing the current state of your contingent workforce management, defining the scope and objectives of the program, selecting the right MSP provider through a rigorous RFP process, and then transitioning to the new model. This is followed by ongoing management and optimisation of the program, with regular reviews to ensure it continues to meet your evolving business needs. Successful implementation requires strong commitment and collaboration from all stakeholders.
