“Contingent workforce is the workforce that employers resort to, in order to manage the more and more frequent changes of the business environment, thus, its accessibility and efficiency are important indicators of a market’s attractiveness,” Valentin Petrof, ManpowerGroup Romania general manager, stated.
Romania is outranked by Poland (20), the Czech Republic (34), Bulgaria (49) and Serbia (53) and outranks Russia, Spain, Germany or Greece.
On the other hand, Australia fell from fourth place in the 2013 rankings to 15th in the 2014 rankings, while the lowest ranked country for contingent workforce engagement is Venezuela.
“Managing business and workforce strategies globally presents tremendous challenges to business leaders who must align resources and leverage talent holistically,” said Kip Wright, ManpowerGroup Solutions senior vice president.
Manpower’s Contingent Workforce Index (CWI) measures the relative ease of sourcing, hiring and retaining a contingent workforce in competing labor markets around the world.
CWI compiles over 50 key data points around the availability, cost, regulation and productivity of each country’s contingent workforce.
