On April 4th, I'll be moderating a panel at the HR Transform conference on the gig economy. 150 million workers in North America and Western Europe no longer call the confines of traditional employment their work home, having chosen (and many times not) life as independent contractors. It is one of the largest shifts to have happened to the workforce and workplace in generations. What it means for HR leaders is equally profound, especially if the estimates of 43% of the workforce being “gig” workers in less than two years’ time. Independence should be a choice, and these workers should be leading richer lives than they were previously. The time is now to both harness the desire to ensure happiness and productivity for all.
