Admit it. Over the past couple of years, you’ve been inundated with references to the gig economy and the specter of work misclassification lawsuits that commonly befall gig economy players like Uber. One news cycle after another highlights the pitfalls of misclassifying gig workers and makes the perceived risk even more real and frightening to your business.

Fears aside, there are now two converging trends that should cause you to rethink a risk management strategy based on simple avoidance:

1. Once businesses leveraged independents tactically to bridge skill gaps and talent shortages;  now are recognizing that they must reshape their processes to tap this talent channel as part of their total workforce strategies to win the war for talent.

2. That very talent, ostensibly in short supply, is increasingly preferring to work as independents (i.e., not work as employees or contract workers of traditional staffing agencies).

In this webinar, we will dissect this  growing conundrum and discuss how both talent and businesses can emerge as victors, covering:

• The gigged and the ungigged – what is the difference

• Are all independent professionals created equally? (Aren’t they all simply ICs?...)

• What makes the misclassification risk profile of independent professionals different from gig workers and what does it mean?

• What is a classification/compliance intermediary, and what solutions can it bring to allow businesses to increase their use of badly needed independent talent?

• The future of work and classification/compliance intermediaries - fast approaching?

Join us to learn how businesses can be freed (ungigged) from misconceptions about misclassification risk and real available strategies and tactics for safely engaging independent talent.
