We all go through turbulent times that trigger changes in our business organisations. 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. Is the weather suddenly going to be beautiful tomorrow and you don't have enough servers on your terrace? In just a few clicks, you can create a shift so interested freelancers can respond immediately. Or are there, for example, annual peak periods when demand for your services suddenly doubles? At these times freelancers offer an efficient solution, as you can 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, such as reliability. If this freelancer turns out to be a rockstar, then 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 boom.
4. Find talent at short notice
Freelancers are used to going to different companies and adapting quickly to a new work environment. 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.
