A rapidly growing biotech firm was set to significantly scale its clinical and manufacturing capabilities. As the company expanded, the complexity of managing its contingent workforce also increased. The firm encountered a challenge: managing a diverse array of service providers for specialized contractors and project support. The difficulty of coordinating multiple vendors, each with distinct processes and compliance standards, threatened to hinder the firm's ambitious expansion plans.

Challenge

The primary hurdle was the inefficiency and lack of transparency in managing contingent labor across various service providers. This inefficiency not only led to inconsistent markups and escalating costs but also contributed to higher contractor attrition rates, undermining project continuity and success.

Solution

GQR stepped in to devise and deploy a Managed Service Provider (MSP) solution tailored to the biotech firm’s unique needs. Our initial step was to collaborate closely with the firm to develop an implementation roadmap that would not disrupt ongoing operations. Key to our strategy was maintaining the firm’s existing vendor relationships while integrating them into a streamlined MSP framework. This approach ensured continuity and leveraged the strengths of each service provider under a unified management system.

As part of our workforce solutions, GQR focused on standardizing all contingent labor processes and compliance across vendors, introducing transparency and consistency that were previously lacking. Our team worked meticulously to ensure that every aspect of the contingent labor workflow, from onboarding to offboarding, aligned with best practices and regulatory requirements. With our help, we were able to implement the following benefits:

• Centralized Management: Ensured streamlined operations, reduced administrative burdens, and better coordination.

• Cost-Savings: Eliminated inconsistent markups to negotiate better rates with vendors.

• Improved Compliance and Risk Management: An MSP ensures that all vendors adhere to consistent compliance standards and regulatory requirements. This mitigates any risk of legal issues and penalities, which protected the firm from potential liabilities.

• Enhanced Quality and Consistency: Improved contractor performance and better project outcomes.

• Focus on Core Business: By outsourcing the management of their contingent workforce to an MSP, the firm could focus on their core business activities, allowing internal teams to concentrate on other strategic initiatives.

Outcome

The implementation of GQR's MSP solution transformed the biotech firm’s approach to managing contingent labor. By centralizing and standardizing processes, the company realized significant cost savings, achieving a more transparent and consistent markup structure. Moreover, the enhanced management and support system led to a noticeable reduction in contractor attrition, stabilizing project teams and ensuring uninterrupted progress in the firm’s clinical and manufacturing expansion efforts.
