Over the last couple of years, much has been written and discussed around the topic of total talent management, a concept that integrates all aspects of workforce management from temporary agency workers and traditionally hired permanent employees to independent contractors, outsourced services and many others.

Reagan is director, contingent workforce strategies and research (EMEA & APAC) at Staffing Industry Analysts.
