Staff augmentation vs. managed learning services — how to compare providers.

Staff augmentation vs. managed learning services (MLS) providers differ in scope, scalability, and long-term partnership. Augmentation adds people, while MLS manages entire functions.

Why This Matters
Each model solves different challenges. Staff augmentation fills short-term resource gaps, while managed learning services offer end-to-end scalability and strategic oversight. Comparing providers on cost predictability, engagement expertise, and hybrid program results ensures leaders choose the approach that protects ROI and drives sustainable growth.
