Brenda Morris Strategic Executive, Innovative Leader
This webinar will focus on the emergence of the gig economy and the challenges and opportunities companies face. What is the gig economy? In the gig economy temporary positions are common. Instead of creating jobs, companies are increasingly disaggregating work from jobs. This enables them to contract with independent workers for short-term engagements rather than hire full-time employees, who are the most expensive and least flexible source of labor available.
While job security is no longer guaranteed, and the good wages, generous benefits and secure retirement that used to be go hand in hand with full-time employment are in decline, gig workers enjoy greater choice, autonomy, flexibility, and control – all which drive greater worker satisfaction – than many of their full-time counterparts.
The webinar will also include an opportunity for attendees to engage in discussion with presenters on concrete solutions for a better/more efficient on boarding, competency management, memorialization and control of valuable institutional knowledge, and developing and sustaining the company’s permanent workforce.
