This new way of working has actually been driven by businesses! Many companies have streamlined their businesses to compete within an increasingly competitive and digital-first world. Businesses have to contend with online marketplaces dominating the industry &#8211; some with no physical location and with a strategy to sell a product without actually owning the product &#8211; take Airbnb, for example.<\/p>\n<p>These advances in technology have resulted in organisations needing an \u2018asset-light\u2019 business model. There is no need for office space, no need for in-house staff and it\u2019s time for them to embrace a new way of effective working.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Identify your skills gaps<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Businesses should consider their \u2018core-competencies\u2019 and assess their needs from there. There are \u2018non-core\u2019 functions that can easily be managed elsewhere. Perhaps you have some skills gaps. Businesses can gain reputation by outsourcing some of these areas to specialists &#8211; giving them the opportunity to lead industry rather than fall behind.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Instead of building in-house teams across all functions, respond to seasonal changes in requirements through an on-demand workforce, saving time, money and resource.<\/li>\n<li>The flexibility of this new way of working brings with it productivity, engagement, and collaboration &#8211; all factors that can only be a positive for your business.<\/li>\n<li>An on-demand workforce represents the future of work, it is a trend that forward-thinking businesses can\u2019t afford to ignore.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Grafter works with business in a variety of sectors who require workers on a seasonal or short-term basis &#8211; they use Grafter to get the workers they need, with the relevant experience, to fulfil their roles and their feedback on using an on-demand workforce couldn\u2019t be more encouraging:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u00a0Wow, fantastic, we have been waiting for this!!
