Deloitte Launches Comprehensive Extended Workforce Solutions to Transform Contingent Talent Management

New offering provides organizations with the tools and insights needed to effectively manage an evolving workforce, helping drive compliance and operational efficiency

NEW YORK, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Deloitte today announced the launch of its Extended Workforce Solutions (EWS), a holistic offering designed to address the complexities of contingent workforce management. Drawing on Deloitte's experience in managing an extended workforce, EWS integrates advising on contingent talent strategy, technology, sourcing and management while implementing and operating these solutions to help organizations gain better visibility into their total workforce.

"Organizations today are grappling with the challenge of effectively managing an evolving workforce," said Jonathan Pearce, U.S. Insights, Innovation and Operate leader, Deloitte. "Our solution addresses these challenges by providing the support and tools needed to integrate and manage talent effectively, enabling every individual to contribute to their fullest potential and thrive within the organization."

Organizations increasingly rely on different types of talent, including employees, temporary staff, contractors, SOW providers and gig workers. Some projections suggest that contingent workers could become the majority of the U.S. workforce before the next decade. Deloitte research found that over half of workers surveyed (55%) say they already have, or are likely to, switch employment models throughout their careers, moving between full-time, part-time, internal talent markets, and freelancing or gig work.

"Managing an extended workforce while reducing risks and ensuring compliance is a significant challenge for many organizations," said Norah Nicholls, Extended Workforce Solutions offering leader, Deloitte. "By utilizing advanced technologies and data-driven insights, we help clients achieve greater transparency and control over their workforce, which can lead to improved operational efficiency."

As a leading technology partner, Deloitte possesses extensive knowledge and experience in implementing and operating market-leading cloud-based vendor management systems (VMS) and collaborates with employer-of-record (EOR) providers, including TCW Global.

"Talent wants to work differently, and Deloitte has been one of the real innovators in adopting new flexible talent models," said John Winsor, a leading advisor on the future of work and founder and chief executive officer, Open Assembly. "By developing a more unified workforce strategy that includes both full-time and contingent workers, Deloitte helps organizations solve the critical challenge of finding highly sought-after talent."

"As AI becomes not just a tool but a true teammate, organizations need trusted advisors to help determine which skills should remain human, which can be agentic, and how to recombine them to achieve outcomes," added Winsor. "Deloitte's history of deep thinking and willingness to break its own rules positions clients to harness both human judgment and synthetic capabilities for success."
