Episode 10 - The Gig Economy

During the Covid-19 Pandemic, we began to sense a major change brewing in organizations everywhere. Employees were realizing that there was more to life than just their daily grind in sacrifice to their employers. Now called The Great Resignation, we are seeing millions of workers around the world decide to leave their regular employment and look for more flexible options. Organizations should not panic but instead embrace the opportunities that The Gig Economy offers both them and their workers. Based on Chapter 6 of our book, The New World of Work: People Leadership in The Digital Age, we discuss both the worker side and the employer side of The Gig Economy. “We noticed there were millions of workers around the world that had decided to leave regular employment and look for more flexible options. Gig workers are those that are outside the traditional system. Workers that are willing to do some task, some job, some short-term gig that has no long-term commitment. Those that hire Gig Workers also enjoy that they are not hiring an employee that they are going to have to try and retain and engage in their work. They just know that they are hiring this person for a short amount of time, they are going to do their work, and then they will either be gone or they will hire them again. When you hire a Gig Worker, you come up with an agreement, this is how much I'm going to pay you, at the end of it, I write you a check, and c'est la vie, I don't have to talk to you anymore. You got your 1099 I'll give you at the end of the year and I'm not concerned with you. I'm not suggesting that organizations take advantage of their workers. What I'm saying is that there are Gig Workers out there that want to work. There's no reason to compete against these companies; you should hire them! The Gig Economy has grown to include Fortune 500 companies. Gig Workers are not just Uber Drivers and Web Designers. They are Nurses, Professors, and HR Directors. Those that work hard, are pleasant, and have good customer service are the ones doing well.” Listen, Like, Comment, & Subscribe on Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/k62Lf5qj2vM Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5lZDdxMxLi0kE9rDBqJiX5 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-new-world-of-work-podcast/id1631444248 #GigEconomy #GigWorkers #HumanCapitalManagement #PeopleLeaders #TheNewWorldOfWork #TheDigitalAge #TheFourForces #PeopleSpecialists #PeopleLeadership #TheIndustrialRevolution #TheFourthIndustrialRevolution Website – www.NewWorldPeopleSpecialists.com YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU2pwquU3XcfAd0v2_LyIsg Audio Library Credits Summer of 1984 (Audio) ∙ “grateful kings” by RKVC ∙ YouTube Audio Library The New World of Work: People Leadership in The Digital Age will be published in late 2022 from Routledge Publishing in London, England Authors: Bashker Bob Biswas, William Garrison, Robert Ramirez

Episode 9 - The Changing Nature of Employee Relations & Working Conditions

In The Digital Age, we don’t need bosses, we need leaders. People Leaders find ways to shorten the distance in the so-called Boss-Subordinate Relationship to form partnerships. Nobody wants to think of themselves as subordinate. People Leaders empower their people by sitting down with them and developing objectives jointly that lead towards organizational success. In this episode, we discuss Chapter 9 from our book, “The New World of Work: People Leadership in The Digital Age”, to understand how organizations should train their People Leaders to not only use metrics, but understand the stories behind the numbers. “In research of Exit Interviews, the number one reason given by employees as to why they quit, they say it was their boss, not their leader. People don’t want to be managed, they want to be led. We don’t need to manage them. We need more and more workforces that are self-managing, especially in the remote environment, and less managers who manage, direct, control, and micro-manage. People Leaders need to think with self-transcendence, beyond their selves.” Listen, Like, Comment, & Subscribe on Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU2pwquU3XcfAd0v2_LyIsg Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5lZDdxMxLi0kE9rDBqJiX5 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-new-world-of-work-podcast/id1631444248 #BossSubordinate #Workforces #GigWorkers #HumanCapitalManagement #PeopleLeaders #TheNewWorldOfWork #TheDigitalAge #TheFourForces #PeopleSpecialists #PeopleLeadership #TheIndustrialRevolution #TheFourthIndustrialRevolution Website – www.NewWorldPeopleSpecialists.com Audio Library Credits Summer of 1984 (Audio) ∙ “grateful kings” by RKVC ∙ YouTube Audio Library The New World of Work: People Leadership in The Digital Age will be published in late 2022 from Routledge Publishing in London, England Authors: Bashker Bob Biswas, William Garrison, Robert Ramirez

Episode 8 - The Changing Nature of Workforces & Employment Categories

As workforces change, entrepreneurs & top managers look for ways to get the job done. However, the Federal Labor Standards Act (FSLA) seems to be a hinderance rather than a good guideline to follow. In the New World of Work, more and more employers are moving to a model where there is a small inner core team of employees with a large outer circle of gig workers. People Leaders need to be business leaders that develop people strategies, not just be policy managers. “The future is a small group of employees with the rest being flexible gig workers. The Fair Labor Standards Act is completely obsolete, and the US Congress is way behind. Business owners know what they need their workers to do but FSLS requirements are so out of date, they have to hire someone just to keep the company compliant. Demographics are changing. In the Digital Age, we need to be able to bring it altogether.” Listen, Like, Comment, & Subscribe on Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/mGiAStK7c_A Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5lZDdxMxLi0kE9rDBqJiX5 Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-new-world-of-work-podcast/id1631444248 #FSLSObsolete #Workforces #GigWorkers #HumanCapitalManagement #PeopleLeaders #TheNewWorldOfWork #TheDigitalAge #TheFourForces #PeopleSpecialists #PeopleLeadership #TheIndustrialRevolution #TheFourthIndustrialRevolution Website – www.NewWorldPeopleSpecialists.com Audio Library Credits Summer of 1984 (Audio) ∙ “grateful kings” by RKVC ∙ YouTube Audio Library The New World of Work: People Leadership in The Digital Age will be published in late 2022 from Routledge Publishing in London, England Bashker Bob Biswas William Garrison (Belianna Garrison) Robert Ramirez

Episode 7 - The Changing Nature of The Employment Contract

People Specialists need to realize that the nature of work has changed so the Employment Contract needs to be updated and new categories or employees needs to be updated. It's very difficult to keep our employees engaged. They are not emotionally invested in the mission of the company. Employee Engagement surveys are not the solution. There is no lifetime employment anymore. Employees don't typically want to stay in the same place for more than five years and the younger generations don't want to stay more than one year. People Specialists have to change their paradigm to figure out ways to engage employees who are not employees. “The basis of the Employment Contract is a Balance of the Employee's inputs and their perceived Employer's reward system. Over time, the Employee's Needs have changed. They want different things from Employers. They are looking for different Intrinsic Rewards work Work-Life Balance being one of the primary ones. There are not jobs anymore, there are roles. Workers want to be a flexible resource. They want to work while they are backpacking through Europe and don't see any reason why they cannot.” Listen, Like, Comment, & Subscribe on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ttB96gVZAVY Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5lZDdxMxLi0kE9rDBqJiX5 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-new-world-of-work-podcast/id1631444248 #HumanCapitalManagement #PeopleLeaders #TheNewWorldOfWork #TheDigitalAge #TheFourForces #PeopleSpecialists #PeopleLeadership #TheIndustrialRevolution #TheFourthIndustrialRevolution Website – www.NewWorldPeopleSpecialists.com Audio Library Credits Summer of 1984 (Audio) ∙ “grateful kings” by RKVC ∙ YouTube Audio Library

Episode 6 - The Changing Nature of Work

The Nature of Work is changing dramatically. There is a complete need to rethink about how People Management, Human Resource Management will operate in this New World of Work. Current HR Employee Relations will not work. We need new paradigms, new processes, new ways of relating to each other, new ways of working in teams, new ways of supervision, and new ways of management. “Workers today don't expect to be attached to an employer. They want to work when they want to work and where they want to work. More and more people are seeking remote work and ‘Gig Work’ wanting more flexibility with their lives, and if their company is not providing it, they are willing to leave their job. If we want to keep the top talent, then we need to provide them the flexibility to work remotely. As technology keeps improving our organizations, some of the workers' skills are expiring and will need re-skilling or re-deployment.” Listen, Like, Comment, & Subscribe on YouTube: https://youtu.be/oO8s2dv95UA Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5lZDdxMxLi0kE9rDBqJiX5 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-new-world-of-work-podcast Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-new-world-of-work-podcast/id1631444248 #HumanCapitalManagement #PeopleLeaders #TheNewWorldOfWork #TheDigitalAge #TheFourForces #PeopleSpecialists #PeopleLeadership #TheIndustrialRevolution #TheFourthIndustrialRevolution Website – www.NewWorldPeopleSpecialists.com Audio Library Credits Summer of 1984 (Audio) ∙ “grateful kings” by RKVC ∙ YouTube Audio Library

Episode 5 - The History of Human Capital Management

When the world has changed, People Leaders of the past have led the way in ensuring employees are valued. In reviewing The History of Human Capital Management, we see that true People Leaders influence the World of Work.

Episode 4 - People Leadership

People Leadership in organizations is now more important than ever. Workers have more options than ever to find the roles they want. If you want your organization to thrive, you must have People Leaders at every level of the Management Team. “The leader’s job is to provide the people with the tools to get the job done. If you are leading and nobody is following you, you are just taking a walk. We need to lead people and manage things.” YouTube: https://youtu.be/JYGvcF9OFqc #PeopleLeaders #TheNewWorldOfWork #TheDigitalAge #TheFourForces #PeopleSpecialists #PeopleLeadership #TheIndustrialRevolution #TheFourthIndustrialRevolution Website – www.NewWorldPeopleSpecialists.com Audio Library Credits Summer of 1984 (Audio) ∙ “grateful kings” by RKVC ∙ YouTube Audio Library

Episode 3 - The Digital Age - The Fourth Industrial Revolution

We now live in The Digital Age. When you look around the workplace, you realize that we have witnessed the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Great People Leaders understand how the workplace has changed and that workers have more options than ever. It is our duty to treat our people right and then they will treat our customers right. “This digitization of the workplace has changed the very nature of work. The word ‘Going to Work’ doesn’t exist anymore. The Employer-Employee relationship needs a complete redo. The functional approach to HR is not relevant today in The Digital World.” YouTube: https://youtu.be/CgT1GZNwwvw #TheNewWorldOfWork #TheDigitalAge #TheFourForces #PeopleLeaders #PeopleSpecialists #PeopleLeadership #TheIndustrialRevolution #TheFourthIndustrialRevolution Website – www.NewWorldPeopleSpecialists.com Audio Library Credits Summer of 1984 (Audio) ∙ “grateful kings” by RKVC ∙ YouTube Audio Library

Episode 2 - Productivity

Productivity is the ability to get stuff done. Every organization develops goals to define success for their organizations. For People Leaders, it is their role to inspire their teams to maximize productivity through hiring the right people, training frequently, and overall, treating their people right. “People Leaders inspire maximized productivity. There will continue to be things that robots and automation cannot do.” YouTube: https://youtu.be/NwGXeMzvUGE @TheNewWorldOfWork @Productivity @PeopleLeadership @TheDigitalAge @The FourForces @PeopleLeaders @PeopleSpecialists Website – www.NewWorldPeopleSpecialists.com Audio Library Credits Summer of 1984 (Audio) ∙ “grateful kings” by RKVC ∙ YouTube Audio Library

Episode 1 - What is The New World of Work?

The world of work is changing rapidly due to the Four Forces of change in our new world. Today’s conversation discusses the premise of our book coming out this Fall titled “The New World of Work: People Leadership in The Digital Age”. Dr. Bob Biswas and Professor William Garrison lay out the Four Forces felt by workers and business leaders alike and offer a foundation on how to lead people in this New World. “The people side of business, the human side of business in the sixty's, it was introduced as a major consideration, major variable in the world of work. The people side, the psychology of work. Now because of the Four Forces we have to rethink the people side of work because the very nature of work is changing.” YouTube Link – https://youtu.be/15aBq8m2YK4 @TheNewWorldOfWork @PeopleLeadership @TheDigitalAge @The FourForces @PeopleLeaders @PeopleSpecialists Website – www.NewWorldPeopleSpecialists.com Audio Library Credits Summer of 1984 (Audio) ∙ “grateful kings” by RKVC ∙ YouTube Audio Library
