The modern workforce is evolving.
Non-traditional work arrangements, such as remote work, freelancing, contract work, and part-time work, are gaining popularity with the introduction of innovative technological platforms, such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
According to a survey conducted by Randstad Canada, non-traditional workers already make up to 30% of the workforce and this number is expected to grow. Workers and employers prefer these alternatives to traditional employment for the benefits they can provide. Workers can enjoy the autonomy and flexibility offered by non-traditional work arrangements, whereas employers can engage workers on an as-needed basis and assess the suitability of candidates before permanently hiring them.
