Leading workforce management solution provider, Volt Consulting – Managed Service Programs, announced today that it has partnered with Infotree, producers of the TalentNet Independent Contractor Verification process. As organizations maintaining a contingent workforce continue to increase their use of independent contractors, the IRS has increased the number of audits to uncover potential worker misclassification improprieties. The high cost of penalties sustained by organizations who improperly classify contingent workers as Independent Contractors (IC) has presented a challenge to organizations that maintain a significant contingent workforce. To assist its clients in monitoring their IC workforce for potential worker misclassification, Volt Consulting MSP has elected to deploy TalentNet, an IC classification software and service produced by Infotree. Infotree, a diversity-owned business enterprise will be offering the TalentNet solution in support of Volt Consulting’s new and existing human capital managed service programs.
Volt Consulting MSP President, Larry Kaylor explained, “The TalentNet program strictly adheres to IRS regulations and utilizes the same independent contractor litmus test used by IRS auditors to determine IC status.” Kaylor further reflects, “Volt Consulting MSP understands Infotree to have considerable expertise in this area which is why it elected to enter into an agreement with them to provide this critical service offering to our Global 1000 clients.”
The Volt Consulting/Infotree TalentNet Program employs a methodological 7-step approach to determine if an assignment is, or should be, classified as an IC. The 7-step process was developed by Infotree’s legal team, which is comprised of former IRS agents and an former Justice Department prosecutor.

Axsium Group Launches Workforce Management Practice for Healthcare Industry
Axsium Group Inc., North America's leading Workforce Management consulting firm, has again expanded its service offerings with the formation of a practice dedicated to the Workforce Management (WFM) needs of the healthcare industry. The new Axsium Healthcare Practice will debut at HIMSS09, the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society's annual IT conference, being held April 4-8 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
Axsium's Healthcare Practice will be led by Steve Levy, an industry leader with more than 15 years of extensive experience in the WFM sector. Mr. Levy previously served as national director of Professional Services at WFM solutions provider Kronos Inc. and as a co-founder of Simplified Workforce Solutions Inc., a vendor of optimized scheduling and analytics software for the healthcare, retail and restaurant industries.
"Aligning patient care, productivity and labor to achieve new operational efficiencies is a top priority for today's healthcare executives. Axsium Group founded the healthcare practice to address the unique challenges that healthcare organizations face while trying to achieve their operational objectives, particularly in the current industry climate," Mr. Levy said.
"Labor accounts for the largest portion of operating costs in the healthcare sector," Mr. Levy added. "As a result, increasing productivity and operational efficiency is critical for the effective management of costs and to improve quality healthcare delivery. WFM solutions can achieve those goals."
In conjunction with the creation of the new Healthcare Practice, Axsium has released its latest thought-leadership whitepaper on the benefits of Workforce Management enterprise solutions for the healthcare sector.
In "Workforce Management Best Practices in Healthcare," a number of solutions are presented to improve productivity and efficiency through automated time and attendance and scheduling. With the deployment of the appropriate WFM tools to match labor with volume, healthcare organizations can minimize understaffing, reduce time-consuming schedule development, and increase employee satisfaction by enabling self-scheduling and shift swapping.
Copies of the whitepaper -- "Workforce Management Best Practices in Healthcare" - will be available to all registered HIMSS conference participants at Axsium booth #3317.
"The HIMSS conference gives us an excellent opportunity to connect with customers, prospects, and industry colleagues," said Mr. Levy. "As the leader in workforce management consulting we look forward to showcasing our expertise and sharing our practical experience with healthcare organizations. Axsium will be discussing several case studies that demonstrate how WFM can meet the careful balance between labor cost and quality care."

IBM Selects 200 New Global Leaders for the Corporate Service Corps to Tackle Socioeconomic Problems in Key Emerging Markets
Two hundred of IBM's future leaders from nearly 40 countries will participate for international assignments to emerging markets in 2009 as part of the company's Corporate Service Corps program, part of the Global Citizen's Portfolio initiative announced by CEO Sam Palmisano.
Now in its second year, IBM's so-called "corporate Peace Corps" is sending teams of employees to nine emerging countries to work on projects that intersect economic development and information technology. In 2009, IBM is sending participants for the first time to Brazil, China, Malaysia and South Africa and will return to Ghana, the Philippines, Romania, Tanzania and Vietnam. The assignments are being selected to use the skills IBM employees possess in areas such as information technology, business consulting, marketing, finance and supply chain management.
See audio slideshow on IBM employee experience in Ghana: http://www.ibm.com/ibm/responsibility/ghana_presentation.html
According to Stanley S. Litow, Vice President, Corporate Citizenship & Corporate Affairs, IBM, "The Corporate Service Corps helps high-potential employees develop smarter leadership skills while engaging organizations in emerging markets and helping them grow their business. Not only do participants learn first-hand how business is done in local communities, but they share what they know with colleagues back home and gain a personal understanding of what it means to be a global citizen."
Last year, the Corporate Service Corps worked on 36 projects that helped local businesses, non-profit organizations and governmental institutions improve their use of new technologies and expand their global reach. They included:
-- In Ghana, participants helped launch a center for business development
and offered workshops to prepare students and women entrepreneurs for
careers in technology and business.
-- Participants in Romania worked to identify small and medium enterprises
with high growth potential requiring business training to tap into regional
and global trade networks.
-- In Tanzania, teams worked with the Africa Wildlife Foundation to
overhaul their financial management practices and develop strategic plans
for wildlife management.
-- Participants in Vietnam supported the rapid development of small and
medium enterprises with the Danang Chamber of Commerce through the creation
of job training programs in information technology management.
The Harvard Business School recently studied the impact of the IBM Corporate Service Corps (see evaluation) and found that participants significantly increased their cultural intelligence and resilience as a leader as a result of the program.
According to Christopher Marquis, Assistant Professor, Harvard Business School, "We found that the experience gained by people working in teams on-the-ground in emerging markets made them much better equipped to deal with adversity and challenges -- an important factor in today's global age of distributed work, where there is a high level of ambiguity and lack of control."
Harvard also surveyed 31 of the local "project hosts" to assess their satisfaction with the program. The vast majority cited improvements in their internal business processes and their ability to forge new and stronger partnerships with other private sector, NGO and governmental agencies in-country as a result of their work with the IBM Corporate Service Corps.
Following is a list of countries and projects slated for 2009:
-- Sao Paulo, Brazil: help urban community organization plan global
expansion and develop strategies for a national conservation group to
market "green" products and services.
-- Sichuan, China: work with businesses in the earthquake-ravaged Sichuan
province on economic revitalization strategies.
-- Takoradi, Ghana: improve businesses and supply chain processes for
small and medium enterprises in Ghana's burgeoning oil and gas
industry.
-- Iasi, Romania: identify small and medium businesses with high growth
potential requiring business training, and help with telecommunications,
financial management and business process development.
-- Cape Province, South Africa: identify ways to improve management and
planning skills for non-profit and refugee support organizations.
The Corporate Service Corps groups IBM employees in teams of 8 to 10, representing dozens of different countries and business units. An important design point for the program is to provide high-performance employees the chance to build networks with people they might never interact with. This will also enable employees to bring different perspectives and expertise to solving problems, as well as encourage interaction with people from different cultural backgrounds and traditions. More than 5,000 high-potential employees applied for 200 openings in the program this year, making it one of the most competitive employee programs ever created.
Prior to departure, the IBM teams will engage in three months of preparatory work to learn about global teaming, cultural adaptability, corporate social responsibility, language, project goals and the socioeconomic and political realities of their destination countries. After their country service, employees share their experience in their home communities and with the company.
IBM is teaming with three non-governmental organizations (NGOs) focused on the participant placement of private sector professionals: Citizens Development Corps based in Washington, D.C.; Canada-based Digital Opportunity Trust; and Australian Business Volunteers. The NGO partners are a key part of the program's success, helping to identify the right projects and local organizations where IBM's emerging leaders, and the skills they possess, can have the most impact.
The Corporate Service Corps is part of IBM's Global Citizen's Portfolio, a suite of investment programs to help IBM employees enhance their skills and expertise in order to become global leaders, professionals and empowered citizens of the 21st century workforce. It also includes matching accounts for lifelong learning and enhanced transition services to create second career opportunities.
