The contingent workforce is pitched to affect almost a quarter of the population by this time next year. It's likely to affect you, whether directly or indirectly. If you are an employer, a HR leader, a health and safety manager or a worker, this is about you. Think freelancers or temporary workers. A contingent workforce is the adopted workplace collective term for casual or contract workers, ie, those individuals that aren't employed yet are utilised as and when the business requires specialist labour. Its growth in numbers is on a steep incline here in APAC and across the globe. Originally contract workers were prevalent in industries such as construction and health care, yet nowadays contract workers are across all industry sectors. This also applies to individuals that have second jobs, whetherfor additional income (such as Uber driving) or to build wider skills and pursue additional areas of interest.
