Freelancer Flexibility for Future Growth
The shift towards hiring external talent was already underway before Covid, but the pandemic has increased the trend at a startling rate. A recent Forbes article by Senior Contributor Edward Segal outlines the trend, breaking down results from a study by Upwork. This study shows that there was a 22% increase in the use of freelancers from 2019 to 2020, and their use isn’t slowing down! Many employees prefer the flexibility and individual control that freelance work brings. As many as 20% of employees could become freelance workers. This dramatic change means that companies need to start rethinking their workflow and prepare to utilize independent talent and freelancers. If they don’t, Forbes suggests that companies will miss out on some of the most highly skilled professionals.
