Top Benefits of Partnering with a Managed Service Provider Program

What is an MSP Program?

A Managed Service Provider (MSP) program is a highly effective way for companies to manage their contingent workforce, including temporary employees, contractors, consultants, and even resources engaged under a statement of work (SOW) employment arrangement. It is made up of three key components, people, technology, and process, that work in concert to provide efficiencies and oversight through a strategic workforce ent, human resources, and/or other workforce administration departments. It manages the entire talent lifecycle, from hiring and onboarding to invoicing and payroll, through a technology platform called a vendor management system (VMS). The VMS acts as a center of operations resource connector, providing you complete visibility into your company’s contingent workforce symphony.

Dahl Consulting’s (DAHL’s) MSP programs are customized to your company’s specific employment needs by delivering unsurpassed talent administration through a streamlined process, improved regulatory compliance, and ultimate visibility. With a carefully designed and consistent process, an MSP program offers you improved decision-making and complete control around your contingent workforce, in real-time.

With DAHL as your MSP partner, we can build a tailored, transparent program that fits your culture and aligns with your company’s workforce goals.

How does an MSP Work?

DAHL’s MSP team becomes an active and key player within a company’s contingent workforce program. We offer full visibility and control of your contingent workforce and suppliers through our VMS technology. Within an MSP program, all requests, vendors, workers, timesheets, and employment costs are captured, managed, and tracked through a single process and technology platform. This includes all temporary employees, contractors, consultants, and resources engaged under an SOW employment arrangement, allowing an enterprise-level view of all workforce activity.

DAHL’s MSP team works with your company to create standardized contracts for your contingent employment (staffing) partner network. All staffing partners are governed by the same terms, providing contract consistency and reducing exposure to employment risk. Utilizing our VMS technology, the MSP team is tasked with monitoring the day-to-day management of the program, facilitating tasks such as requisition processing, supply chain management, transactional reporting, analytics, and more.
