PRO UNLIMITED

PRO was founded in 1991, in response to what they believed was a critical need in the contingent workforce marketplace. The workplace at the time was in the early stages of a dramatic transformation. Large companies were downsizing their workforce in an attempt to reduce headcount and gain more flexibility. This in turn led to a large-scale increase in temporary employment staffing, and in the use of independent contractors, returning retirees, freelancers, and consultants. A group commonly refe... rred to today as the contingent workforce.

An element that would increasingly present challenges from a management, tax, and benefit liability perspective.More
