Focus Questions

2. Is this just a US phenomenon or are you seeing a global impact?
3. How does the gig economy specifically impact human resources departments?
4. What are the best ways that companies can adapt to this new trend?
5. Will the appeal of this new, versatile, way to work attract top talent that would otherwise migrate toward a standard, corporate job?
