Recently, WorkAccord has been playing a key role in facilitating discussions between staffing agencies, their legal counsel, and insurance brokers. The focus has been on a myriad of contractual issues, including intricate aspects such as “hold harmless” indemnities and contractual liability exclusion clauses.
Understanding these terms and their implications is not just a dry legal exercise for staffing agencies. It's a business-critical competence. It’s vital to know where these clauses are hidden within contracts and how to navigate them effectively. This knowledge directly impacts the agency's ability to negotiate and maintain responsible procurement and supply practices.
In the coming posts, we'll share some of our observations and learnings about these issues. The goal is to equip you, as a staffing agency owner, with the insights required to confidently negotiate the next risk-sharing impasse you encounter.
