Episode 17 - The Human Cloud


Listen Later

There is demand for Gig Workers both from the Employer's side and the Employee's side. Those numbers are certain to increase. The Human Cloud is place where Employers and Workers go to get a Matchmaking Service. There are Payroll Applications, Labor Distribution, Accounting Systems Applications, all residing on a platform. It is an integrated systems architecture for managing the contingent Gig Workers and Flexible Workers. That is increasing more and more because the labor economy is moving to more hiring Flexible Workers and Gig Workers. It's hard to think that HR could be automated, but there are pieces of HR that can be automated. The danger, the challenge is that we don't want to automate the Human Element. Based on Chapter 13 of our book, The New World of Work: People Leadership in The Digital Age, we discuss The Human Cloud.

“I've had several conversations with business owners and top managers about our book and about The New World of Work. They are sitting there nodding their heads, saying that they need to go to more Gig Workers, our turnover is huge, how do we do this? The answer is The Human Cloud. One of the biggest challenges that companies have is that Gig Workers go away and they may have a labor shortage. Hiring is expensive. The answer is The Human Cloud.” “Imagine organizations where everybody coming to work, wants to come to work, and are loving coming to work. That's the goal. We don't need all these administrative things that bog down people, that demotivate them. So, these People Specialists can zero in on leading and motivating. Even the Gig Workers that show up to work, want to work, and they can be your next Full-Time Employees.” “The Key is that it is called The Human Cloud Platform, not The HR Cloud Platform.”
