The Benefits of a Blended Workforce and the Staffing Challenges It Brings
The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, November 11, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT). Last week we talked about how to make meetings worth everyone\u2019s time, and this week we\u2019re going to talk about the benefits of a blended workforce and the staffing challenges it brings. The way we used to work is gone. The days of primarily being full-time or part-time have given way to the blended workforce \u2014 those individuals working as independent contractors, freelance workers and self-employed entrepreneurial talent side-by-side their full-time brothers and sisters.\xa0 Employers are now hiring record numbers of contingent workers and relying increasingly on this mix to achieve their goals. Not only that, these workers are happier, have achieved greater work-life integration and are profiting on their own. That\u2019s welcome news for employers and workers looking to improve their opportunities. But building and managing this blended workforce presents challenges on almost every front\u2014particularly when it comes to effectively sourcing and hiring contingent workers. Employers need to think about \u2014 and hire \u2014 talent differently. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about the benefits of a blended workforce and the staffing challenges it brings with this week\u2019s guest: Sunil Bagai, Founder and CEO of Zenith Talent, innovators of the powerful new staffing \xa0model for the contingent workforce called Crowdstaffing. Thank you to all the\xa0TalentCulture\xa0sponsors,\xa0partners and\xa0supporters!
