Talent Economy – David Francis – Show Notes
How can you make someone want to work for your company without paying them more?
Overwhelmingly, the answer is flexible hours and work-from-home options. With the technology we have today, most “office” jobs can actually be done completely remotely. Of course, switching to this model of work requires radical transparency, communication, and a mission that connects with the employees, too.
Going forward, for both companies and individuals to be successful, it’s critical to develop these new work models, continuously reskilling, and disrupting yourself to stay relevant.
In this episode, I speak with David Francis, a world-renowned researcher with extensive experience covering the human cloud, freelance economy, and remote work. Throughout our conversation, we’ll discuss his groundbreaking reports, how the future of work is impacting large and small companies alike, and what the future looks like for the staffing industry overall.
