“So often in our industry the contingent worker lacks a voice, despite the fact that without them there would be no industry.”, said Jon Beck, CEO of Ursus. “Staffing tradeshows are represented by the clients, suppliers and vendor management providers, but rarely if ever do you see a contingent worker as a keynote or even represented on a panel.

The Ursus Contractor Council is a group of Ursus contractors, deployed at various clients, who will serve as the voice of the company’s contingent workforce. The council’s purpose is to share important insights, experiences, and recommendations with Ursus Staffing’s leadership team, with the goal of enhancing the overall service experience for all contractors.

“I am thrilled to be a part of the Ursus Contractor Council, where I have the opportunity to connect with my fellow contingent workers and industry leaders.”, said Ricardo Morales, a Sr. Engineer specializing in cloud infrastructure based technologies. “Finally, contingent workers have a platform to share feedback, exchange ideas, and learn best practices from each other. I feel privileged to be a part of such a supportive community.”

The Contractor Council will meet quarterly with Ursus Staffing’s leadership team as well as subject matter industry leader guest speakers, to discuss a range of topics that are important to the company’s contractors, including remote work, compensation transparency, benefits, training, career development, and more. Additionally, council members will serve as ambassadors for Ursus Staffing, helping to promote the company’s brand and services among their peers.

“We believe that the Contractor Council will enable us to build stronger relationships with our contingent workforce, better understand their needs and challenges, and provide more customized solutions that meet their unique requirements.”, said Whitney Doelp, Manager of Contractor Care at Ursus. “We are excited to launch this initiative and look forward to working closely with our contractors to deliver the best possible service experience.”
