SIMOS provides more than just basic contingent labor: they deliver customized strategic labor solutions, with the end goal of reducing cost, increasing productivity and ensuring budget certainty - without compromising on quality standards.

Their consultative partnership philosophy means that they design solutions from inside your facility, aligning with your KPI's and offering a level of support that means you can step back and focus on the bigger picture, leaving your workforce in safe hands.

Today, I'm joined by Harold Baro, Senior Vice President and General Manager, to talk all about SIMOS, the importance of collaboration and some of the challenges that businesses are currently facing with their workforces.
