We all go through turbulent times that trigger changes in our business. Positive or negative, flexibility is key. So, having a flexible workforce alongside your permanent employees can be a benefit. But what does "a flexible workforce" mean? And how can you use it to its full potential? One big advantage is that it can empower your company to adapt swiftly to changing situations and circumstances. In this post, we dive into the 4 benefits of creating a flexible workforce in your company...
1. Switch quickly and efficiently during peak season, illness or absence.
A flexible workforce allows you to respond quickly, as demand changes. Unexpectedly beautiful weather? Create a shift in a few clicks and interested freelancers respond immediately. Annual peak periods when demand for your services suddenly doubles? Freelancers offer an efficient solution, allowing you to quickly react to increased traffic, sickness or leave.
2. Find reliable talent with the right skills
An on-demand workforce gives you full control to choose the right person to work for you on a particular shift. You choose who you add to your team that day, based on their skills and ratings. If this freelancer turns out to be a rockstar, you can add them to your pool of “favourites”, making it even easier to select them for a future shift.
3. Create an agile workplace
Do you have any idea what the market will look like a year from now? A flexible workforce gives you the power to react quickly to events beyond your control and makes sure your business is agile and resilient. You can scale your workforce up and down easily by using technology to your advantage, both in times of crisis and in times of growth.
4. Find talent at short notice
Freelancers are adaptable, and are used to working in new environments regularly. They have chosen this flexibility for themselves, and may consider work as an additional income while they are studying or starting a business, for example.
