Flexibility, new organisation mantra

Tuesday, 01 October 2019 | PNS | New Delhi

The Noble House, an HR talent marketplace, recently released a white paper on the evolving gig workforce, based on responses from about 150 business leaders and 300 HR professionals. The report titled The Gig Readiness Survey of Corporate India takes a deep dive into the world of work. It shares insights on how companies are seeing on-demand talent as a growth driver and how it is in sync with the changing expectations of a company’s most valuable resource — talent. Around 51 per cent of employers opined as long as the work is being done, they are not concerned about the place from where the employees are working.

The report emphasises on the correlation between flexibility and productivity validated by HR and business leaders. This has led them to recognise the potential benefits of the gig economy holistically.

The findings of the survey challenges some common presumptions — it reveals that 36 per cent employers are providing work from home as a policy in their companies. About 14 per cent of the HR professionals surveyed revealed that more than 50 per cent of employees opted for work from home when given the chance. This has helped in the adoption of flexible and remote gigs within and outside the organisation.

Speaking about this, Sumer Datta, Co-Founder, Noble House Consulting Pte, said: “Our recent survey indicates a rising awareness about remote working and employers are trying to adopt well crafted flexible arrangements. Such an arrangement ensures that workers not only meet deadlines but also take ownership of their projects. In our survey, about 59 per cent employers agreed that as long as work is being done, it is irrelevant whether it is in office or at home. In the last two years, more than 53 per cent of employers have absorbed 5 per cent to 20 per cent of gig workers into their organisation. The gig economy is thus changing three major dimensions of the nature of work: the work itself, who does it, and where it will be done.”
