It's time to give them access to benefits! How will your organization attract and retain gig and on-demand workers, independent contractors, freelancers, and part-time workers? By providing access to health and wealth benefits through Mercer Indigo > a self-compliant, innovation benefits platform built for this thriving workforce
One thing that most HR and business leaders can agree upon is that talent is a major challenge in the future of work. In the shuffle to reshape their organizations for the post-pandemic era, businesses find themselves needing new and emerging skills, all against a backdrop of an increasingly competitive skills landscape where top talent has more choice than ever on where to work.
In conjunction with an integrated and intuitive digital experience, your contract workforce can customize and purchase benefits to suit life and lifestyle needs. You grow your talent brand and loyalty loop without the administrative burden.
Eric Bassett and Ravin Jesuthasan share insights on the gig economy trends and the impact on your business, including insights on how how the pandemic impacted the industry and the creative solutions available to improve the attraction, retention and engagement of gig workers. Additionally, we share our survey on the current state of this workforce and expectations for the next twelve months.
The independent workforce is at a record-pace in growth. You need to retain and attract the top talent. It's time to give them benefits. Mercer Indigo is committed to being a catalyst for a thriving independent workforce.
The cat’s out of the bag, the genie has escaped the bottle, and the ship has sailed. There are now over 57 million individuals in the US working freelance, and employers that are slow to dip into the talent pool are falling behind. This gap will only widen as more talent floods into the gig economy as freelancers and independent contractors, a trend that Tamara McCleary expects to continue as workers look for more flexibility and control over their personal and work lives.
This unique workforce goes by many names – gig workers, freelancers, independent consultants, part-time workers, sole proprietors, small employers, contractors, and on-demand workers. They need benefit options for a better future. Mercer Indigo is the differentiator.
