Smart L&D Staffing: The Future of Workforce Flexibility
— Why the Market Needs More LD Staffing
During this exclusive podcast, AllenComm’s CEO Ron Zamir and Smart L&D Staffing Director Lauren Prisco discuss how staff augmentation can be used by Learning and Development (L&D) teams to strategically meet the challenges organizations are facing in our rapidly evolving industry.
Accelerated technological change, a changing job market, increased requirements for new skills and specialization and the need for agility have created an environment in which many organizations are in search of efficient, scalable and cost-effective staffing solutions. We’ll explore AllenComm’s Smart L&D Staffing offering with its innovative approach, backed by 40+ years of experience and domain and industry expertise, that gives organizations a unique competitive edge.
Drawing from recent research, Zamir and Prisco, along with Brandon Hall Group™ COO Rachel Cooke, delve into the market’s apparent preference for short-term or project-based scalable talent and managed services. They contrast the challenges faced in conventional recruitment — including high costs, and risks associated with new hires — against the evident benefits and advantages of the Smart L&D Staffing model.
Listen to this podcast to understand the future trajectory of the Learning and Development staffing landscape and how, with AllenComm’s approach, businesses can revolutionize their Talent Acquisition strategy for optimum results.
