如今,企业正在转向灵活的业务结构,以确保满足客户和整个商业市场的需求。因此,他们正在寻找人才来满足不断变化的需求。
他们越来越多地在独立承包商中发现这些人才。事实上,Upwork 和自由职业者联盟(Freelancers Union)的一项调查预计,到 2027 年,超过一半的劳动力将是独立工作者。
未来的劳动力 要求企业雇佣更多的独立承包商,以保持竞争力和盈利能力。由于企业在审查和遵守不断变化和复杂的雇佣分类方面面临着越来越大的压力,它们必须在此过程中不断发展自己的劳动力战略。
未来更强大的临时工趋势
根据盖洛普公司的数据,如今有36% 的劳动力在某种程度上是由 "零工经济 "工人组成的,而美国的自由职业者人数达到了6220 万。但是,即使临时工队伍的增长速度如此之快,企业也需要一些时间才能赶上。
随着越来越多的人开始加入临时工队伍,越来越多的企业开始将临时工队伍作为其业务的重要组成部分,请注意一些正在塑造未来的趋势:
1. Shifting workforce skills
Automation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning are replacing repetitive, manual jobs and driving demand for advanced cognitive reasoning skills to develop and adapt the technology. McKinsey’s “Skill Shift: Automation and the Future of the Workforce” report predicts that the most substantial need will be IT and programming skills in industries ranging from banking to energy to retail.
目前的人工智能采用者已经预计到了工作场所的变化,因为 96% 的人认为人工智能将影响组织结构。许多受过高等教育的员工已经开始寻求成为独立技术承包商和自由职业者,以帮助满足这一需求。
2. Agile business structure
Speed and flexibility are vital for maintaining a competitive advantage in business, and many companies are turning toward agile business models to better adapt to ever-changing landscapes. Agile businesses replace traditional hierarchy with flexible networks of teams, a model ideally suited to engaging independent contractors and freelancers. Independent workers can be tapped quickly to support groups or organizations, like seasonal businesses, with specialized skills at specific times. Further, agile teams are project-focused and can incorporate contractors seamlessly into operations with minimal disruption to workflow and company culture.
3. Evolving legal regulation
With more than half of workers projected to identify as independent contractors by 2027, it’s imperative that businesses understand the risks associated with hiring them. Worker classification, which involves technicalities like understanding independent contractor vs. employee differences, is critical to contingent workforce planning.
各国正在越来越多地改变这些分类--或至少改变与之相关的权利。例如,加利福尼亚州在今年早些时候签署了第 5 号议会法案(AB5),使其成为法律,赋予临时工更多的权利和保护。密切关注与独立承包商相关的法律法规,以避免巨额罚款或更严重的后果。
随着越来越多的公司采用灵活的业务结构,特遣队劳动力 也在不断演变。 注意趋势,以确保您不仅符合法规要求,还能在正确的时间找到正确的人才。在此过程中,您将看到自己的组织不断发展壮大,并转变为未来的组织,而不是过去的遗迹。
