Mixing Full-Timers and Freelancers
Through Flexible Staffing
Change and lots of it is the only constant today. The companies most
poised for success are those that remain agile in responding to an everevolving business environment. This is especially true when it comes to
understanding which creative professionals you need to hire and when.
A flexible staffing structure that mixes full-time employees and highly skilled
freelancers enables agencies and in-house departments of all sizes to nimbly
staff up or down based on workload demands. While this staffing approach
has been popular for decades, more companies began embracing flexible
staffing structures during the Great Recession, and the lessons they learned
have been lasting ones. In fact, this cost-effective approach to managing
personnel resources has become the new normal a permanent part of
many firms human resources plans.
The number of creative professionals choosing to work on a freelance basis
is also rising. The result? Employers can tap the wealth of experience and
knowledge these skilled workers possess without taking on the fixed costs of
a full-time hire.
