KellyOCG, the Outsourcing and Consulting Group of Kelly Services®
(NASDAQ: KELYA) (NASDAQ: KELYB), today announced it has signed a
Letter of Intent to enter into a major services procurement
outsourcing contract with leading international mining group Rio
Tinto (RIO) in Australia.
The Contingent Workforce Outsourcing (CWO) practice of KellyOCG
will leverage its experience in delivering services procurement
programs while utilizing its global footprint to support Rio
Tinto's labor and supplier management strategy.
"Based on Rio Tinto's global presence and cumulative spend in
services, this program is designed to become one of the largest and
most innovative programs in the industry in terms of size, scope
and global scalability," said Rolf Kleiner, senior vice president
and general manager, KellyOCG.
"We choose to work with KellyOCG based on their expertise as a
workforce managed service provider and their commitment to the
Australian market," said Scott Singer, Global Head of Procurement,
Rio Tinto. "Nearly half of Rio Tinto's 100,000 strong global
workforce is comprised of contractors and a key driver of this
program is improving contractor compliance with our Health, Safety
and Environment (HSE) standards. This program is also expected to
provide major improvements in our contractor administration process
through enhanced governance and increased data visibility."
Encompassing a broad spectrum of operational activities from
supporting supplier qualification and contractor on-boarding,
through sourcing and transactional management, the partnership is
an entirely new model for contractor administration within Rio
Tinto. Expected key outcomes include:
- strengthening of supplier qualification and induction processes
to support improved HSE performance of Rio Tinto suppliers
- a range of commercial benefits achieved through greater process
efficiency
- enhanced relationships with the supplier community
"We are very pleased to be partnering with an organization
committed to innovation and program excellence such as Rio Tinto.
From the outset they have recognized the potential for business
transformation through this approach," said Kleiner. "The scope of
the partnership speaks to the increasingly strategic nature of
workforce and services procurement. For KellyOCG it represents a
continuing evolution of both our CWO practice as well as our
industry expertise in the global resources and energy space."
With this agreement, KellyOCG becomes the only Managed Service
Provider with customers engaged on programs scaled to support over
$1billion in spend across all three regions of the world.
