DETROIT Bartech Workforce Management has landed a three-year $100 million contract from Eaton Corp. to manage the $8 billion auto and truck supplier with temporary IT staffing services one of the biggest contracts ever won by Bartech.
The minority owned Bartech Group which generates about $200 million a year in contracts – will manage the temporary and contract staffing services for Eaton nationwide and provide one-stop shopping for temporary IT, professional, technical, administrative and industrial staff.
This contract represents another step in the growth for Bartechs Managed Service Division, said spokesman Shaun Wilson. Bartech Workforce has grown by leaps and bounds the past few years as more companies outsource temporary services.
The initial phase of the program will focus on Eatons domestic operations, and provide a template for expansion into other operations.
Eaton analyzed a variety of providers in this arena, from pure-play technology to workforce partnerships, said Jeffrey Romig, Eatons vice president of Supply Chain Management. BWM came to the table with the strongest approach and processes to take the management of our temporary/contract labor operation to the next level. Working with BWM not only represents a strategic solution to temporary staffing services, it also supports Eatons commitment to supplier diversity initiatives.
Jon Barfield, Bartech Group Chairman, called the Eaton contract a significant step in expanding his companys divisional goals in workforce management services and addressing the increased requirements of national and global companies that are looking for process improvement and savings.
As we continue to see trends in our clients needs to better manage their staffing spend, we will continue to invest heavily in BWM to address such demands, Barfield said.
