Managing L&D: Using Contingent Staff to Build Team Success

AXIOM Insights Learning and Development Podcast

Managing the capacity of a learning team is a core task of the learning and development leader. In this episode, we are joined by three experienced L&D leaders: Pam Moyer, Jay Letourneau, and Jason Ruff. Together, they explore how staff augmentation can be used to align the capacity of a learning team with business demand.

In this conversation, they explore how learning teams can stay agile by supplementing their full-time or permanent staff with contract or contingent talent, without sacrificing quality, collaboration, or culture. In fact, they explain why and how bringing in a contractor can give your team what you need most, whether that's additional work capacity or specific skills or expertise.

This discussion offers anyone managing learning clear guidance based on experience about how to plan resourcing strategies in alignment with business priorities, mobilizing augmented staff to fill in capacity or skills gaps, integrate contractors into your learning operations as part of a cohesive and high performing team, and how contractors can support your team through periods of business disruption, change and growth.
