The workforce is changing. Unlike past economic cycles, fundamental shifts are taking place today that promise to change the very nature of work forever. No longer are companies taking a fixed-cost approach to labor, instead they are embracing a variable-cost model that allows them to quickly react and adapt to changes in the global economy. Couple this dynamic with advances to technology and the exponential growth of the independent workforce, and an opportunity exists to change the way companies get work done. The old model of recruiting, sourcing, and paying agencies for short- and long-term contingent workforce needs is becoming a thing of the past as companies look to more creative, cost-effective, and ‘out-of-the-box’ solutions to meet their needs. This white paper highlights how this new independent workforce is driving an ‘out-of-the-box’ solution that actually comes from within.
