Flexibility. Balance. Empathy. These are qualities that employees demand in a post-pandemic world. Workers have been redefining what ‘work’ needs to look like for them – and in some instances, that’s led to freelancing. And that’s why the gig economy is exploding.
Independent workers are seeking a better work-life balance and they expect the work they do to be both meaningful and flexible. But this sentiment isn’t exclusive to those in the gig economy as permanent employees are searching for the same level of meaning and flexibility – and they want action, not words.

Join our discussion where we unveil unique and valuable research. It’s interactive, too – so you can share your thoughts and questions on the new world of work.
