As the transformation of the workforce brings more flexible alternatives to the traditional, full-time permanent position, it is time for companies to re-think the way they categorize employees. A recent Randstad study of more than 3,100 workers and 1,500 HR and c-suite executives revealed some surprising numbers about how some companies are preparing for this shift.
A new wave of workers is pursuing a flexible workplace approach because they see more opportunity for growth, authority, and job stability and this trend has not gone unnoticed by most companies. In fact, the Randstad study found that as early as 2019, as much as 50 percent of the workforce will be comprised of agile workers. Even more surprising? By the year 2025, 70% of workers and 68% of employers agree a majority of the workforce will be employed in as contractors, consultants, temporary or freelancers.
