If you’re a large-scale employer, it’s no secret that the day-to-day operations of running a business include a lot of moving parts. You’ve hired full-time employees, people earning both hourly and salaried rates, part-time employees, and more than likely, you’ve engaged a staffing firm to fill in the gaps over time. Depending on your experience, some bosses prefer to deal with temp agencies, while others aren’t as enthusiastic. Everything boils down to personal preference, just like the toppings on a hot dog. However, one segment of the business is booming: the gig economy.
It appears simple (someone comes in, does a task, and departs), but it’s a little more complicated. Depending on the company, a more detailed method for dealing with staffing issues may be required.
Think outside of Uber and GrubHub to get a better sense of what’s out there. The boxes you’ve just unloaded can either be left in your driveway or you can pay movers to come back and retrieve them.Numerous applications on the market pay people for taking on tasks such as food delivery and working on a team for a day or being a hospitality worker for a company gig.
Many people like the gig economy because the Internet has democratized our lives. Hundreds of thousands of employees are essentially their bosses, which is beneficial to both employers and employees.
First, there is less need for the business because if they need a specific job done, they will bring in some ringers to bang out the job, get their fee, and move on. For businesses, this is advantageous because they only have to pay a one-time fee rather than having to keep someone on staff and pay them every year.
The current expansion could be functions that connect employees with businesses that require assistance.
Instead of the buyer being the end-user, the features connect a worker with temporary or long-term employment with a single click.
And the strategy is simple: employees are managed in the same way that enterprises are. The company sets the value level and the hours and people they want, but employees can pick their ability level and availability. As a result, whenever there is a match, everyone wins.
While many companies providing entry into the field provide employees with jobs for any length of time, others are doubling down on retention, providing W-2s and full insurance coverage in exchange for staying within the employee group, allowing employers to choose from a larger pool of candidates.
This model benefits both parties: the employee gets to work on their terms while still receiving benefits, and the company gets the personnel they need for their work without the HR/taxes/threat.
Keep your eyes peeled for the W-2 facet. Taking away the burden of taxes is a huge win for employees, especially those of us who still struggle with “should I declare one or zero?” This is because if you’ve ever had to deal with 1099, they’re the worst.
Although this model handles a huge staffing issue in terms of short-term assistance, it remains very focused on the employee.
The flexibility aspect of the concept is built into the fabric of the concept, as the labor pool is what matters — you can have a lot of available jobs. Still, you need qualified and motivated people to fill them. While it’s a gig-working scenario, it’s also unusual. The focus isn’t on the individual executing an idealized task like delivering food but rather on jumping on a team to resolve an issue or finish a job.
They’ve primarily computerized the temporary staffing mannequin, but they’ve also reduced the undesirable overhead and personnel quality aspects.
They’re taking a labor market and linking it to a shopper via an iPhone app. On the other hand, the buyer isn’t a person looking for a ride to the airport; rather, it’s a company looking for help staffing a Pearl Jam concert at a stadium.
With the market changing almost every hour these days, there’s a clear through-line at work: we’re seeing many organizations hire gig workers, even if only for the day.
To help with jobs that the normal staff cannot handle, it is easier to hire a temporary employee.One of the most significant advantages of the mannequin is that it helps to prevent worker burnout.
If there are a lot of small projects piling up at a place like a resort, it’s easier to invest the money for a day or two of labor rather than adding to the workload of already overburdened employees.
It’s a whole new world that’s constantly changing, but with each swipe, browse, and click, we see the workforce grow in ways we could never have anticipated only a few short years ago. If the way forward for employment is now, imagine what it will be like in five years.
