Definition of Contingent Employees:
Contingent employees include temporary workers, independent contractors, and on-call workers
who are not part of an organization’s permanent workforce.
Why Contingent Employees is Correct:
These workers are hired to address short-term or specific needs and often lack traditional
employment benefits such as healthcare or job security.
Eliminating Incorrect Options:
A . Diversity management: Focuses on fostering inclusivity and equity, not employment types.
C . Flexible work programs: Refers to alternative work arrangements (e.g., telecommuting, flex-
time).
D . Part-time employment: Part-time workers are a subset of employees, not synonymous with
contingent employees.
