  • Freelancers are the second group of people who must aggressively market themselves.
  • These independent contractors will need to self market continuously to keep clients aware of their brand, their abilities, and their reputation..

These techniques are crafted for each actor involved within the global issue, and provides advice for the HR departments, as well as managers and individual employees to attempt in order to diminish the outcomes. The article not only emphasizes the importance of managing the organizational structures and its employees, but also highlights the significance of career development to the future of work. The idea that HR departments not only need to manage their current employees, but also must take developmental steps towards implementing a recruiting system that seeks the most talented workers from a global labour pool.
