Uberize Your Workforce

Uberize Your Workforce

Why has the world embraced Uber so much? There are a bunch of reasons, but my favorite is its simplicity. I need a ride, I click a button, I choose where I want to go and what type of vehicle, and boom! I know how much it is going to cost me and when I am going to be picked up! No fuss!

Wouldn’t it be great it we could apply the same simplicity to labor within organizations? Many are trying with varying degrees of success and that trend will continue. Even before Covid landed on our doorsteps, 85% of executives expected to increase the number of freelance workers they use. Now, more than ever, on-demand workers are giving organizations the ability to do more with less. In other words, become more agile as the need arises without adding headcount.

Unfortunately, most organizations on-demand workforce strategy is NOT as straight forward as Uber…but it could be! There are challenges in creating a labor pool, organizing and vetting that pool, and finding the best ways to quickly engage that pool as needed. On top of that, 60% of all contingent labor is unaccounted for in financial planning, forecasting, and budgeting! This leads to rogue spend! How is your organization leveraging the flexibility and benefits of an on-demand workforce? Don’t miss your ride! 

Great analogy Austin! Organizations need to make it simple to get the on demand help they need to push forward!
