When you need a structured staffing and talent program
This approach is typically required when workforce demand becomes ongoing, multi-location or difficult to manage through ad hoc hiring.
- Managing ongoing hiring across multiple roles or locations
- Running project-based workforces that grow and reduce in line with demand
- Experiencing inconsistency in how workers are engaged, onboarded or managed
- Scaling a contingent workforce beyond informal or manual processes
- Embedding compliance and governance into workforce operations
- Operating across multiple regions with different worker types and regulatory requirements
Staffing program design and contingent workforce management
A structured staffing program defines how your workforce operates across roles, locations and worker types.
It creates consistency in how workers are engaged, managed and governed across the business, supported by managed staffing services that operationalise the model day to day.
Without this structure, organisations often rely on fragmented or ad-hoc staffing approaches. These may work at a small scale, but as hiring volumes increase or operations expand across locations, they introduce cost inefficiencies and compliance risk.
EPG designs workforce programs that establish:
- Clear worker classification and engagement models
- Consistent terms across roles, locations and suppliers
- Defined governance and approval structures
- Embedded compliance frameworks aligned to local requirements
We deliver a structured, repeatable model that enables effective recruitment as your workforce grows. Our repeatable, controlled model allows your workforce to expand seamlessly while maintaining full oversight, compliance and consistency.
Program oversight, compliance and consistency
A workforce program is not static. Without active oversight, even well-designed programs can lose alignment over time, leading to inconsistency, cost leakage and compliance exposure.
Without active oversight, even well-designed programs drift over time.
EPG provides ongoing program oversight, actively maintaining alignment as your workforce evolves.
We manage:
- Consistent engagement terms and worker classification across roles and regions
- Alignment of worker types across roles and jurisdictions
- Data governance and commercial controls
- Ongoing compliance monitoring and risk management
- Program performance and reporting
With structured oversight, workforce programs remain controlled, predictable and aligned to both operational and regulatory requirements. This leads to more predictable performance, reduced risk and more efficient workforce outcomes over time.

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers
What is contingent workforce management?
Contingent workforce management is the ongoing design, oversight and governance of workers who are not permanent employees, including contractors, temporary staff and project-based workers.
How is a staffing program different from using a recruitment agency?
A staffing program defines how your workforce operates across roles, locations and worker types. It establishes structure, governance and consistency. A recruitment agency focuses on filling individual roles.
What types of businesses need a structured staffing program?
Businesses with repeat, project-based or high-volume workforce needs, especially those operating across multiple roles, locations or worker types, need a structured staffing program.
How does workforce staffing program design connect to compliance?
Program design determines how workers are classified, engaged and managed. Embedding compliance into this structure reduces risk and ensures obligations are met from the outset.
Can you support programs across multiple locations or worker types?
Yes. EPG designs and manages programs across jurisdictions, aligning worker types, engagement models and compliance requirements across all locations.
