Contingent teams aren’t just temporary support–they’re crucial players in your company’s success. But it can be tricky to keep them feeling connected and engaged, especially when most of your team is full-time. Here are a few ways to bridge that gap and make sure you avoid a disconnect with your contingent team:

The fulfillment I experience when partnering with my incredible recruiting colleagues and our amazing clients to help someone land their dream role is truly unmatched.” What do you like to do outside of work? “Outside work, I love to travel, especially to beach destinations. Growing up surrounded by lakes in Minnesota, I cherish any opportunity to be outdoors, soaking up the sunshine by the water–whether by a lake or the ocean.”
