How to overcome challenges in the dual-economy contingent workforce
Abstract
[...]according to SIA’s latest findings, it is estimated that 53\u2009m people took on contingent work in the USA in 2018 – with 34% of all Americans undertaking such work in 2019. Organisations need to have best practices for managing confidential information, contingent workers’ performance and policies around whether they are given the same furlough, pension and sick care benefits as permanent members of staff. Harnessing software in this way can also help companies better communicate with contingent workers – making them feel valued as part of the wider business and also helping to reduce stress.
