Duke's Story: How One University Simplified Its Flexible Staffing Model
Davidson, H. Clint, Jr.; Hendricks, Linda B.; Carroll, Teresa
CUPA-HR Journal, v56 n2 p15-18 Fall-Win 2005
Higher education institutions often partner with outside staffing vendors to secure large pools of temporary workers for a variety of industrial and clerical positions. However, many institutions are doing so haphazardly and in a disconnected fashion, with different operating units each utilizing a different vendor. Duke University and Health System recently found itself in a similar situation, with more than 100 staffing vendors being utilized throughout the university. This article recounts Duke's experiences in moving from this multiple-vendor approach to a more centralized model, in which the university uses a single vendor for all its staffing needs.
