A World Bank report estimates the number of global online #gigworkers at as many as 435 million people and says demand for #gigwork increased 41% between 2016 and the first quarter of 2023. That boost is generating concern, though. buff.ly/3PvFeIA

Through talent, skills, and a good grip of the market, freelancers work on their own terms. And now hiring managers prefer them rather than staffing firms for the following reasons: - To complete projects faster - To reduce costs - To access new skills

The future of work goes hand in hand with employee wellness. Important factors for company decision-making were employee health and wellness (84% of companies), employee productivity (72%), access to talent (58%), and aligning employees with a corporate mission (58%)

Data shows a range of industries leveraging freelancers to access skills they need •30% of Fortune 500 use Upwork & expected to increase •Access to skills & talent scarcity are the biggest challenges; by 2028, it's projected 73% teams will have remote workers Source: @Upwork

The future of the workforce is digital: • Only 35% of companies have definitive plans for returning employees to the physical workplace • Only one in five companies are in favor of mandating a “hard return" Source: @Salary

Companies can no longer assume that they can fill empty slots with workers similar to the ones who just left. According to a 2022 @McKinsey report, just 35 percent of those who quit in the past two years took a new job in the same industry.
