How do you handle change?
Change is one of the toughest barriers that prevents companies from hiring freelancers, and “traditional” workers from becoming freelancers. Diving into the unknown is daunting, especially when it means transforming an individual’s entire livelihood, or a company’s way of retaining talent. But once a flow is established and the unknown becomes familiar, it’s completely worth it.
In this episode, Jody Miller talks about her experience with hiring high-level executives with expertise and knowledge—who also happen to be freelancers themselves. She is the co-founder for Business Talent Group: a global platform for high-end business talent that seeks project-based work. She will help us see what companies have to do to engage these high-level freelancers, and how it will ultimately change companies for the better.
