Ep. 26 - The Gig Economy: The Momentum and Impact of the Independent Worker - with Steve King
We are witnessing an evolution in the composition of the workforce: the continual growth and increased impact of the independent worker, otherwise known as freelancers, contractors, or independent consultants.
And with the gig economy, as many like to call it, the profile of these independents have also been shifting – they reflect people across a variety of knowledge-intensive industries like management consulting as well as those from creative occupations. The commonality, though, is that many have chosen to pursue an independent path.
And companies increasingly want and need these workers in order to adapt to the ever-changing business environment!
To learn more about the trends in the independent workforce and the impact that independent workers are having on businesses, we’re talking to Steve King, Partner at Emergent Research. His research and consulting company studies the future of work, particularly the trends of this independent workforce.
