The Future of Work Exchange would like wish all of our readers a safe, happy, and healthy holiday season.
Next week, tune in for the “Best of 2021” as we look back on some of the highlights from another transformative, revolutionary year in the greater world of talent and work.
Thank you for an amazing five months! We’re just getting started…
I can vividly remember a conversation with an HR executive back in 2014. She and I were in a spirited discussion regarding the growth of her enterprise and how quickly her team needed to bring in new talent to support that rampant expansion. Her contingent workforce volume had doubled in just a couple of years, and she caught onto my public proclamation that, by 2020, close to half the workforce would be considered “non-employee.” I still keep in touch with her all of these years later, and she still points the contingent workforce as a big reason why her organization was able to bring in the necessary skills and expertise to grow effectively.
Today’s agile workforce comprises 47% of the average organization’s total workforce, a far cry from the days when it was just a sliver of the overall talent pool. The agile workforce of 2021 has driven incredible value for businesses around the globe. Consider that 82% of businesses stated that the contingent workforce enabled workforce flexibility and scalability over the past year (according to Future of Work Exchange research), and, consider that 70% of businesses believed that the agile workforce enabled adaptation to changing times, as well as business continuity.
The agile workforce of 2021 is a powerhouse of skills, expertise, and value. And it’s why the Future of Work Exchange is teaming up with myBasePay this coming Thursday, November 4 at 11am ET, for an exclusive webcast on the value of the growing contingent workforce. I’ll be joined by myBasePay co-founder and CBO, Angela Alberty, as well as LiveHire’s EVP of North America, Karen Gonzalez, for an engaging discussion on major contingent workforce trends and the path ahead for agile talent.
