Co-Employment and Managed Service Providers
A New Way to Think about Navigating Co-Employment

The Canadian labour market consists of nearly 1 million finance professionals; 1.1 million workers in the Educational Services sector; and just over 950,000 professionals in Public Administration.  All of these are examples of sizable, high-impact industries within our economy.

However, none of these sectors matches the size and scale of the contingent workforce, a portion of the Canadian labour market that currently employs almost 10% of all working Canadians or 1.6 million employees. As a leading indicator of the economy, the contingent workforce will be the first to expand as the economic picture gets brighter.

As companies continue to rely on contingent staff as an important part of their workforce strategy, employers need to be mindful of the intricacies that relate to using contingent labour. While many of the well-known aspects of using contingent staff — flexibility and cost effectiveness — are clearly understood, there are other aspects that have historically lacked clarity and resulted in some less-than-positive outcomes for employers. Perhaps the most significant of these aspects is co-employment. Find our more by clicking here.
