In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, workforce sustainability has become a critical focus for organizations striving to balance operational efficiency, compliance, and employee well-being. SAP Fieldglass, a leading Vendor Management System (VMS), plays a pivotal role in enabling companies to manage their external workforce and services procurement effectively, ensuring sustainable workforce strategies.
Workforce sustainability refers to an organization’s ability to maintain a flexible, skilled, and compliant workforce while promoting ethical labor practices, diversity, and long-term talent development. As businesses increasingly rely on contingent labor—contractors, freelancers, and service providers—the challenge lies in managing this extended workforce efficiently and responsibly.
SAP Fieldglass provides a cloud-based platform designed to help enterprises manage external labor and services procurement. By offering comprehensive visibility and control over the external workforce, Fieldglass supports organizations in making data-driven decisions that promote workforce sustainability.
End-to-End Workforce Visibility
SAP Fieldglass consolidates data on contingent workers, suppliers, and service engagements into a single platform. This visibility enables organizations to monitor workforce composition, diversity metrics, and spend patterns, allowing for better resource planning and sustainable talent management.
Compliance and Risk Management
Fieldglass helps companies ensure compliance with labor laws, tax regulations, and corporate policies across different geographies. Automated workflows and audit trails reduce risks related to misclassification, wage violations, and contractual breaches—key to maintaining ethical workforce practices.
Supplier Collaboration and Diversity
The platform facilitates better collaboration with suppliers, promoting transparency and accountability. It also supports supplier diversity initiatives by enabling organizations to track and engage with diverse and inclusive vendors, advancing corporate social responsibility goals.
Data-Driven Workforce Optimization
Advanced analytics within SAP Fieldglass empower organizations to identify skills gaps, forecast labor demand, and optimize workforce deployment. This leads to more strategic sourcing and development of sustainable talent pools, reducing dependency on short-term or high-turnover labor.
Sustainability Reporting and KPIs
With integrated reporting tools, SAP Fieldglass allows companies to measure key performance indicators related to workforce sustainability, such as turnover rates, diversity ratios, and spend efficiency. These insights help refine workforce strategies aligned with long-term business objectives.
Companies using SAP Fieldglass have reported significant improvements in workforce management efficiency and sustainability outcomes.
