Organizations increasingly rely on third-party contractors to sustain and expand their businesses, yet they have long struggled to connect and share information that is critical to smart hiring practices, including health and safety practices and compliance activities. Failure to properly vet contracting companies and their workers can have serious consequences, including compromised safety and security and costly business disruptions. According to a study from Deloitte Insights, 87% of respondents have faced a disruptive incident due to third-parties in the past two to three years. Companies that leverage proactive risk mitigation measures, such as vetting contractors for compliance and safety readiness, reduce those risks and spend 50% less to manage disruptions than those who did not take a proactive approach.
“Identifying qualified contractors is a critical component of supply chain risk management, yet it is challenging, especially for those that are juggling scores of contractor companies to fill jobs around the world,” said Colby Lane, CEO Veriforce. “They need an efficient way to find and assess contractors to bring onboard. These enhancements to the Veriforce Network help to create a reliable, global marketplace for them to connect and grow their businesses safely.”
