Flexing Up - The Future of Work: Recent Episodes
Oncore
The world of work is changing faster than you can say flex! Today, it's all about the freedom to work in a flexible way that suits individual workers. The future is a connected workforce that spans the globe and allows businesses to tap into the skills and talent they need on demand. But on-demand does not mean unplanned. Join us to discuss how businesses can be more strategic about their modern workforce planning and listen as our hosts and guests share ideas and spark more conversations about how you can start Flexing Up your workforce.
In this episode of Flexing Up, Craig Watson speaks with Sue Howse, CEO of Human Collaborative, diving deep into the evolving landscape of the contingent workforce.
Here are some key highlights:
- 90% of organisations have a contingent workforce - By Sue's own estimation most companies in Australia engage non-payroll work, they just don't know it.
- Understanding the Contingent Workforce: Organizations often struggle to define their "invisible workforce" β contractors, service providers, and independent consultants. Visibility is crucial to managing this dynamic group.
- Tailored Solutions: Every company's contingent workforce strategy is unique, dependent on size, industry, and needs. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work!
- Technology in Workforce Management: Traditional vendor management systems are being complemented by adaptable tools like Monday.com and Salesforce, enabling better workflow management for small to medium enterprises.
- Key Trends:
- A growing emphasis on knowing and managing non-employee workers.
- Increasing demand for flexible work arrangements, driven by multi-generational workforces.
- Rising importance of data, risk management, and cost transparency in contingent workforce strategies.
- Role of AI and Tech: Emerging tech and AI are making a significant impact, especially in managing workflows and improving visibility for non-employees across departments.
As businesses adapt to the growing contingent workforce, leaders must prioritize visibility, technology, and tailored solutions to stay competitive. ππΌ
