Gold Watches Can't Do Yoga
Just try it.
Times have changed since the days of pensions and retirement gifts of golden watches. Just like with any big changes, the change itself is met with uncertainty and fear. The reaction to the gig economy and how it’s transforming work is no different.
The truth is, studies by ClearlyRated show that freelancers’ productivity, communicativeness, and engagement is no different from that of a traditionally hired full-time employee. In fact, if the company embraces the gig economy, then freelancers will be just as—if not more—engaged, skilled, and productive as traditional employees.
In this episode, Eric Gregg discusses how corporations will benefit from investing in the gig economy. Eric Gregg is the CEO and founder of Inavero Research (now called ClearlyRated), which focuses on finding ways to create satisfaction for employees and clients alike.
Eric shares insights into the changing nature in work, how companies look at different ways to innovate and compete, how traditional employees and freelancers need to continuously reskill to stay relevant in their work. With the evolution of work, Eric urges employers to just try it.
