In the last couple of years, the gig economy has continued to rise and especially in the American job market where workers take on two side gigs and are able to earn a decent living. Recent findings from Adobe reveal that not less than a third of the more than a 1000 US worker admit that they have a second job. In the same breath, more than 55% predicted admittedly that in the near future, they will slot their time for additional jobs.
Going by the annual report from Freelancer’s Union and Upwork, there is a huge increase in the people who have joined the freelancing industry. Around 35% of the American workforce have joined the bandwagon and the figures are expected to increase. Not less than 81% of the surveyed workforce admitted that they are willing to do additional work that is outside or not related to their primary job at all.
In the current scenario, when a young professional joins the workforce, the idea of just one job is not tenable. This is because as a result of bad economy, many have inherited huge college debts that must be paid and not from just one job. In the near future, there is a possibility that automation and AI will help the rising of the gig economy by getting more jobs done.
Agile methodology will have a major impact on HR
The shift towards contingent workers and independent contractors is bound to have a relatively seismic shift when matters related to HR technology are concerned. For employers, the on-demand hiring will bring hiring costs lower and while at it, create a more structured platform for competition and talent. The end results will be a radical change in career paths with the traditional workforce being replaced by temporary and contract jobs that are focused on specialized talent and skills.
However, it is imperative that traditional metrics are tweaked so as to be in a position to gauge the workers when matters related to retention and terms of engagement are concerned. For that to be achieved, there is need for better speeds and agility to be employed so that projects that need attention are easily identified. The same will help in sourcing employees with the right skills and also staff project teams that are in a position to identify and perform the required tasks on time.
