As the business and workplace environments evolve, traditional management strategies are becoming obsolete; the skilled workforce demands flexibility and more control over their work—things that the major corporations repeatedly fail to offer. Is it any wonder that the best and brightest talent is increasingly moving toward smaller companies with alternative management structures? Companies like Uber, Lyft, Handy, and Task Rabbit? These businesses have seen major success by attracting the right people—by giving them what they want. As the shift continues, businesses will need to change the way they recruit, develop, and train talent. This book shows you how to restructure and reconfigure your current strategy toward one that will help your business not just survive, but \u003ci\u003egrow stronger\u003c\/i\u003e in this new environment by offering what top talent demands.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNiche spaces like transportation and general labor may have catalyzed the movement toward on-demand, but their influence is spreading and traditional businesses must adapt or die.

Global companies are increasingly focused on a more dynamic, agile approach to talent, yet few software providers or academic thought leaders have created an operating system to manage a complicated but likely inevitable endeavor.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book offers an essential guide for accelerating the future of work into the present situation for your company. Today's skilled workers seek roles that offer flexibility, a sense of purpose, societal impact, and control over their work. Unfortunately, these features are often lacking in major corporations. As we increasingly shift towards an on-demand economy, competitive companies are actively reconsidering how to source talent and manage a dynamic workforce. \u003ci\u003eReimagining Work\u003c\/i\u003e offers forward-thinking leaders a resource for understanding what it takes to build a flexible workforce and develop a business that can thrive today and into the future.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors advocate for a new labor paradigm. It represents a complete disruption in the way businesses conceptualize human capital. This vision shifts the key work structure from a job to a project, facilitating the re-alignment of a workforce organized around specific tasks. This change in turn allows for a far more diverse source of talent and an ability to create a combined internal and external marketplace. In time, talent and opportunity are matched far more efficiently, resulting in better capacity utilization and increased total productive output. This paradigm allows you to find \u003ci\u003ethe best people, on demand.\u003c\/i\u003e     \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA NEW PARADIGM FOR CREATING A WORKFORCE THAT MEETS THE CHALLENGES OF TODAY'S ON-DEMAND ECONOMY\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eReimagining Work\u003c\/i\u003e is an inspiring thesis portraying the tectonic shifts occurring in the workforce, and the promise of the self-empowered freelancer for the future.

Smith,\u003c\/b\u003e Chairman and CEO, Intuit  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by the co-founders of Catalant, \u003ci\u003eReimagining Work\u003c\/i\u003e offers leaders a framework for fundamentally rethinking talent at global enterprises. Large corporations are currently burdened with an inflexible and outdated human capital model that can't meet the demands of the business cycle. Simultaneously, in today's on-demand economy, talented workers are seeking a series of projects that are flexible, purpose-driven, and give them more control and ownership over their work.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eReimagining Work\u003c\/i\u003e explores a new paradigm that combines a mix of flexibly staffed full-time employees and highly skilled free agents. In this blended model, there is little distinction between \"us\" and \"them\" – the ideal talent for a given \"job to be done\" is accessed seamlessly in real time.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow is the time to reimagine your workforce!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989931901157,"sku":"NP9781119389569","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119389569.jpg?v=1761785953","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/reimagining-work-isbn-9781119389569","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
