The Nature of Work is Changing We're not only seeing new types of workers, but new ways of doing work. The days of employees working for decades for one company are long gone. The "gig economy" is on the rise, and we're seeing an explosion of contract employees, freelancers, and other short-term professional engagements. Business agility is the name of the game, and companies move fast and stay flexible by connecting talent to their jobs through a digital marketplace. They can quickly scale their workplace up or down as needed, to reduce costs and increase their supply of talent, whether it's onsite or remote. Freelance and contract workers win, too, because they can take advantage of schedule and location flexibility, coupled with autonomy and better work-life balance. To support these dynamic teams, you need to empower employees with integrated tools across workflows and optimize their experience with innovative workspaces.
