When it comes to compression contracting, the number one opportunity sits at the PE level. By aggregating spend across your PortCo portfolio—especially when you have a standout, attractive asset like a large Permian/Liquids player—you can drive significant cost savings across the board. I’ve seen this strategy deliver incredible results. Working with a Fortune 50 Tech Firm, I helped a smaller business unit struggling to negotiate favorable terms with overseas suppliers. By rolling their negotiations into the larger, high-profile portfolio, we created an irresistible value proposition for suppliers. The result? Millions of dollars in savings for my client. PE firms are uniquely positioned to use this approach, and the benefits go beyond cost savings. Aggregating spend differentiates your buying power in several ways: 1. Logo Usage for De-Risking Revenue: For service providers, associating with a big brand and good credit rating de-risks revenue streams, attracting additional investors. The best PE brands provide the same credibility as companies like ExxonMobil, creating consistent, steady revenue for vendors. As we saw Tuesday in the investor day presentation, this kind of brand association can literally move the stock price. 2. Revenue Diversification: PE firms’ activity across multiple basins helps reduce revenue concentration risk for suppliers, making your contracts even more appealing. 3. Thought Leadership Access: With significant influence at the top of the energy pyramid, PE firms can offer insights that vendors crave. Annual summits or quarterly trend reports are just two ways to add tangible value. Strategic aggregation is a win-win for PE firms and suppliers alike. Ready to explore how this could transform your portfolio? Let’s connect.

Pay compression—hiring new employees at higher pay rates than incumbents—is a common issue faced by organizations. It is exacerbated when labor markets are tight, as they are today. Compression devalues the contributions of incumbents and creates retention risk, as tenured employees perceive inequities. The dynamic is particularly concerning for those that rely on firm-specific human capital—deep knowledge of company products, processes and people—for their comparative advantage. Compression also drives gender inequities, as women may bargain less aggressively than men. The convergence of new regulations forcing pay transparency and an increased focus on proactive #PayEquity should serve to diminish the extent of compression. I had the opportunity to recently elaborate on this issue in the new HRSpecialist: https://lnkd.in/g4QQQeNZ Thank you Business Management Daily for the opportunity.

Temporary employment agencies play an increasingly crucial role in the modern #economy, adapting to the dynamic changes in the #labormarket and the growing needs of both employers and employees. Their significance stems from several key aspects that contribute to increased flexibility, efficiency, and stability in the job market. 📈 First and foremost, #TemporaryEmployment agencies provide employment flexibility. In the face of changing economic conditions and seasonal fluctuations in labor demand, employers need the ability to quickly adjust their workforce to current needs. Temporary employment agencies enable companies to respond swiftly to these changes, supplying qualified workers for short-term projects or during periods of increased activity. This allows businesses to manage their human resources efficiently, minimizing the risks and costs associated with permanent hiring. ✍️ Another important aspect is access to a wide talent pool. Temporary employment agencies gather diverse candidate profiles, allowing them to quickly and effectively find the right individuals for specific tasks. For temporary workers, this is an opportunity to gain valuable experience, develop skills, and build their professional careers in various industries. These agencies often provide training and development programs, enhancing the value of their candidates in the labor market. 🔎 The role of temporary employment agencies in the economy is also linked to supporting labor market stability. In times of crisis, such as recessions or pandemics, these agencies can help maintain employment and prevent mass layoffs. Through flexible employment forms, agencies can contribute to job retention and support workers during challenging periods, positively impacting the overall economy. ✅ Finally, temporary employment agencies play a key role in reducing unemployment. By offering workers the possibility of short-term employment, they enable them to gain experience and increase their chances of finding permanent jobs. For many individuals, especially the young and those entering the job market, temporary employment can be the first step towards a stable professional career. 🔝

Let’s dive into the definitions and roles of contingent and remote workers in the modern workforce.   Contingent Workers A contingent worker is most simply defined as a flexible worker hired on a temporary or fixed-term contract basis to provide certain services for a defined period. This group includes freelancers, independent contractors, consultants as well as part-time employees.   Remote Workers “Remote worker” refers to workers who work off site from the business’s main operations center. Often these workers operate from their home office, but there are instances where they simply work in a different location.   https://lnkd.in/gKYF3JgG

If you're still on the fence about whether to bring in an outside HR professional, check out some of our case studies and stories from our clients. Bringing in an outside perspective that isn't influenced by the day-to-day politics and grind of the office can bring a whole new perspective. It's also a great way to complete projects like your handbook, succession plan, or expansion that your HR team just doesn't have the time to do. #hr #culture #strategy

Maverick Mark's Invaluable Career Empowerment Insight #3 At the end of the day, in an employment screening process, the potential employer is seeking to determine two bottom-line variables: -1- Why YOU for THEM? Create and convey your customized compelling case for the particular employment opportunity. -2- Why perhaps NOT YOU for THEM? Anticipate concerns the potential employer may have with your background and credentials compared to the specific employment opportunity. Interview preparation is paramount to excelling in the crucial employment screening process and taking part in a proven mock interview process with debriefs provides an invaluable competitive advantage.

The cost of succession gaps is on the rise. According to recent studies, #leadership capability is the highest priority for organizations over the next 12-24 months. Interestingly, #agility and #adaptability have risen to second place in priority for appointing senior leaders. This skill set is becoming increasingly viewed as imperative when hiring or strategizing for future HR leaders. HR leaders are being held accountable for building #succession within their teams and subject to rigorous performance measures. Are you prepared for the future of your organization? It's time to prioritize workforce and succession planning models to ensure a more adept and better-equipped team. Don't wait until it's too late. #successionplanning #leadership #HRleadership #legacybowes Legacy Bowes #executivesearch #searchfirm #stustainablerecruitment
