ISN Publishes 2018 Edition of its Best-in-Class Contractor Management White Paper

ISN Team - 09 Aug 2018

ISN is pleased to release the latest edition of its “What is Best-in-Class Contractor Management?” white paper. The white paper introduces challenges faced by the growing trend of outsourcing work to contractors and discusses 10 attributes that characterize best-in-class contractor management systems.

In a recent survey conducted by ISN, 95% of Hiring Client respondents expect their need for outsourcing to contractors to stay the same or increase over the next 12-18 months, whereas only 5% expect a decrease.1

While outsourcing work allows for more specialized individuals to complete the job in an efficient manner, it can also add a level of uncertainty and risk. Safe and sustainable outsourcing relies on a robust contractor management system, which is ultimately the responsibility of the hiring organization.

The 10 attributes in the white paper draw from more than 17 years of global contractor management experience working alongside 540+ Hiring Clients, and include:

  • Establishing a clear communication strategy
  • Using a multi-step due diligence process
  • Addressing subcontractor management
  • Taking safety culture to the next level
