II Outsourcing Management Forum

On October 17th, the 2nd Outsourcing Management Forum took place. The Forum provided Level's clients and guests with up-to-date information on outsourcing risk management. It addressed labor issues, corporate best practices, and challenges with eSocial and EFD-Reinf.
It also highlighted innovative technology solutions that Level is delivering to its clients and the market.

Outsourcing Management

During the event, Level Group presented a survey conducted and compiled prior to the event, which highlighted several key findings:
● Participants focus risk management primarily on hiring facilities, civil construction, and technology services;
● 76% of participating companies plan to maintain or increase their outsourced hiring;
● 68% of respondents are unaware of or unfamiliar with the requirement to synchronize eSocial / EFD-Reinf information within their company.

Labor Reform

Among the panels presented, two focused on the Labor Reform. The panels highlighted the need for tighter control over new aspects of outsourcing, such as intermittent work hours. In addition, upcoming court rulings may substantially impact current provisions under the Reform. Consequently, the general guidance was to maintain a conservative approach regarding controls. The need for outsourcing management should not be underestimated, as the CLT remains fully in effect. Since the survey showed that outsourcing is expected to remain stable or grow, mitigating associated risks is essential.

New platform to support contractor management

During the event, Level launched its new integrated platform to support contractor management, suppliers, and contracts, enabling faster and easier visibility into relevant information for both managers and their vendors;
In addition to this platform, Level also announced the launch of its new mobile app to support field audits. It provides auditors with online support featuring predefined questionnaires. It includes fields for interviews, photos, automated reporting, and action plan management support. The app can also be used by corporate internal auditors.

eSocial and EFD-Reinf

Regarding eSocial and EFD-Reinf, the highlight was Level's work in helping clients achieve greater productivity when requesting documentation from suppliers, while already taking SPED Fiscal requirements into account. eSocial and EFD-Reinf are Brazilian Federal Revenue initiatives designed to integrate databases containing information from various public agencies, such as Caixa Econômica and the INSS.

Finally, a panel discussion was held featuring best practices, successful implementation stories, and results from Level's projects, presented by Thiago from TV Globo and Gisele from B3.
