Where company-vendor relationships are concerned, it is important to bear in mind that independence and neutrality are not the same things. That is to suggest, that although vendors are not part of your permanent employ, what they do and how they do it undoubtedly impacts your operation and work atmosphere.
If the vendor’s function did not have implications for your company, then the company-vendor relationship would not exist. When you are considering the advantages of the relationship, you must also consider the risks.
Your extended workforce, consisting of contractors, temporary staff, professional consultants and other independent service providers, must be held to the same screening standards as your permanent workforce. When you bring people into your organization, you open yourself up to opportunity, and also to risk.
