MBO’s Future of Work roundtable series is a monthly panel-style discussion amongst key business leaders and experts to review top trends in the changing workforce landscape. We'll discuss how forward-thinking enterprise organizations can both respond in real-time and plan for future success.
The April session highlights the growing trend of organizations to directly source talent—bypassing traditional third-party labor sources—to not only establish talent pools and virtual benches of at-the-ready talent, but also to create direct relationships with the country's top skilled labor. In this panel, we'll highlight how organizations are doing this successfully and how they're integrating it into their overall workforce and recruiting initiatives.
Speakers:
- Marianne Galante, Executive Director, Advisory Resource Management at KPMG
- Sandra Buhler, Director, Contingent Workforce Management at MUFG Union Bank
- Bob Lucas, Senior Vice President, Enterprise Solutions at MBO Partners
- Miles Everson, CEO of MBO Partners
Key Takeaways:
- What is necessary to establish a successful direct sourcing program
- What organizations with defined programs can achieve in terms of cost savings, productivity, and access to skills
- How to build a business case for your own organization to establish or improve a program
Space is limited - don't miss out!
We'll reserve time answer questions in the second half of the session.

Sandra Buhler is the Director of MUFG Union Bank's Contingent Workforce Management program.
Sandra Buhler became an “accidental pioneer” in the field of contingent workforce management when she agreed to step in and manage the vacated “temporary help desk” for a major financial corporation some 20 years ago. In her current role as director of contingent workforce and search firm management for MUFG Union Bank, N.A., Buhler received the company’s 2016 Cultural Excellence Award, 2017 and 2019 SIA Game Changer Award for creating a comprehensive program committed to transparency through benchmarking, fair treatment of suppliers and the ongoing development of an internal talent pool.
Her approach has delivered annual savings this year of $14 million and 7M from her Direct Sourcing Model. Direct Sourcing is an option that takes the staffing agency out of the recruiting process, supports building out a database of gig workers, reduces bill-rates, and give the business the ability to convert to employees at any time during the assignment She focused on increasing efficiencies and streamlining the supplier base while providing roughly 1,000 agency contingents to diverse users across the bank’s global network. Buhler also spearheaded the creation of contract terms and policies designed to mitigate risk and communication initiatives that boosted internal awareness of the contributions made by the firm’s contingent labor force.
Buhler will continue to look for new talent sources that meet or exceed the expectations and deadlines of hiring managers across the enterprise.
