Creating a Flexible Workforce Strategy

Uncertain times demand flexible strategies throughout an organization.  But human capital management has traditionally been the antithesis of flexibility – with limited, rigid, and generally ineffective choices.  Fortunately, there is a better way.

Today, a significant and growing number of professionals are choosing to work independent of corporate or consulting firm handcuffs.  They see a better professional path – one that provides greater challenge, variety, growth, and indeed flexibility.  And they are in great demand!

Oct. 28th Snapshot: The New World of Work

In a continuing effort to keep an eye on the ever-evolving workforce — especially as it relates to the flexible workforce and the “new world of work” — we are always on the lookout for current news stories, interesting tidbits and thoughtful commentary.

  • An insightful perspective on the jobs/talent mismatch happening in Silicon Valley and across the country
  • An interesting online article about how the contingent workforce can help infuse diversity in the workforce
  • A thought-provoking article and author Q&A session that is part of an ongoing series “Inside the Shadow Economy” that explores all levels of the emerging informal economy and jobs that are “off the books.”
