The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted lives, businesses, and how work is executed. As
we slowly emerge from the pandemic, businesses are facing an unprecedented talent management
challenge characterized by an unprecedented supply-demand mismatch, the great resignation, and
rising salaries/wages. These challenges have put the spotlight on contingent talent or the extended
workforce, which is emerging as the next frontier for disruption and innovation.
Today, organizations are applying a more strategic lens to contingent talent acquisition and
management, and the focus on talent is the most distinguishing aspect of this change.
Consequently, organizations need to provide their contingent talent with a superior consumer-
oriented and permanent-employee-type experience and empower them through focused talent
acquisition, engagement, and management initiatives.
In this report, we explore the key disruption/innovation levers shaping the contingent workforce of
tomorrow, depicted through the 5Es or the Empower, Evolve, Enhance, Elevate, and Embrace
